Incidence of cancers in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

To address a clinical impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) on cancer developments, we investigated an issue whether any difference in an incidence of cancers is present between patients with atherosclerotic CVD and those with non-atherosclerotic CVD.
