Associations of cardiovascular risk factors with survival outcomes in a cancer registration: Findings from the KUMAMON registry.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Although the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and malignant diseases has recently attracted attention, the associations of cardiovascular risk factors and clinical outcomes in cancer patients remain to be elucidated. We performed a retrospective, observational study that explored the clinical outcomes of patients with cancer or with a history of cancer.We enrolled 30,706 consecutive adult cancer patients from Kumamoto University Hospital.
