Comparison of Comorbid Conditions Between Cancer Survivors and Age-Matched Patients Without Cancer.

Conclusions: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteoarthritis, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease are the most common associated comorbid conditions in the cancer survivors. Osteoarthritis is less frequently seen in the cancer survivors compared to the patients without cancer. The frequencies of other comorbid conditions are not significantly different between the two groups. PMID: 30425764 [PubMed]
