Close monitoring for heart risk needed if breast, prostate cancer treatment includes hormones
(American Heart Association) Patients with breast and prostate cancers who are treated with hormonal therapies have an increased risk of heart attack and/or stroke as they age.The increased likelihood of a heart attack or stroke is greater in patients who already have two or more cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking or a family history of heart disease or stroke.The longer the duration of hormonal therapy, the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease.
