Cardiovascular mortality trends in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: a population-based cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the CVSS improved over time, the mortality from the CVDs is still the second most common cause of death after NHL. Older age, not married, black, male patients, not recently diagnosed with NHL, with an advanced stage and not receiving radiation and/or surgery were associated with a worse survival. Risk factor modification along with CVDs screening should be intensified in NHL patients with these mortality predictors. PMID: 29192533 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
