Blood Cholesterol and Outcome of Patients with Cancer under Regular Cardiological Surveillance
Curr Oncol. 2021 Feb 12;28(1):863-872. doi: 10.3390/curroncol28010085.ABSTRACTCardiovascular (CV) diseases and cancer share several similarities, including common risk factors. In the present investigation we assessed the relationship between cholesterol levels and mortality in a cardiooncological collective. In total, 551 patients receiving anticancer treatment were followed over a median of 41 (95% CI 40, 43) months and underwent regular cardiological surveillance. A total of 140 patients (25.4%) died during this period. Concomitant cardiac diseases were more common in patients who deceased (53 (37.9%) vs. 67 (16.3%), p ...
