Atherosclerosis as a cause of death in patients with cancer: a cohort study
Our study revealed a higher atherosclerosis mortality risk among patients with cancer in the United States, emphasizing the need for integrated care that addresses cancer and cardiovascular risks to improve overall patient outcomes. However, our conclusions are restricted to the aggregated data provided by SEER, and we encourage future studies to explore more detailed datasets.
