Key result
Implementing established cancer treatment principles may optimize atherosclerosis therapies due to shared mechanisms.
Why the study?
Atherosclerosis and cancer share several mechanistic features, yet their treatment strategies differ significantly.

Review
May inform cross-disciplinary therapeutic strategies in atherosclerosis; leaves open prospective validation in cardiovascular trials.
Atherosclerosis and cancer are two chronic, progressive entities with major global disease burden that shares several mechanistic features. Despite these similarities, treatment strategies for malignancy and atherosclerosis differ significantly from each other. We propose that cardiovascular therapies can be optimized with the implementation of established cancer treatment principles.
