Screen Detected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms and Synchronous Cancer in Men
This study provides some evidence that cancer and certain cancer treatments may influence the natural history of aneurysm disease in AAA patients. The excessive overall mortality rate in men with AAA and cancer is alarming, particularly among active smokers, which could support either more aggressive targeted cancer screening for patients diagnosed with AAA, but also considerations of delayed elective AAA treatment for this subgroup.
