Cardiovascular Disease Among Survivors of Adult-Onset Cancer: A Community-Based Retrospective Cohort Study Epidemiology
Conclusion The magnitude of subsequent CVD risk varies according to cancer subtype and by the presence of CVRFs. Overall survival in survivors who develop CVD is poor, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies for individuals at highest risk of developing CVD.

Abstract 1852: Merlin/NF2 is associated with elevated aromatase expression and estrogen formation in human liver tissues and liver cancer cells: An unifying model for hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression
It is recognized that the product of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene, also referred to as Merlin/neurofibromin, is implicated in the homeostatic regulation of the liver stem cell niche through the control of abundance and signaling of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with a mechanism independent of the Mst/Lats/Yap Hippo pathway [1]. We have previously reported that locally elevated estrogen formation, driven by abnormally high expression and function of the aromatase enzyme, may be implicated in both development and progression of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through the activation of ...
