Comprehensive Risk Factor Profiles, Coronary Heart Disease, and Life Expectancy in Cancer Survivors.
Cancer survivors face excess heart disease burden and shorter lifespans, highlighting need for dedicated heart monitoring programs for this population.
Cancer survivors show distinct cardiovascular risk factor profiles associated with excess CHD burden and reduced life expectancy compared to non-cancer populations. This data quantifies the cardiovascular toll of cancer survivorship and supports dedicated cardio-oncology surveillance programs.

Why it surfaced
Cardio-oncology data quantifying CHD burden in cancer survivors—bridging cardiovascular-metabolic and hematology/oncology watchlists. Published in JACC Advances (open-access). Addresses the growing cardio-oncology intersection as cancer survival rates improve.
