Abstract

Owing to early diagnosis and rapid development of 

treatments for cancers, the five-year survival rate of 

all cancer types has markedly improved worldwide. Over 

time, however, there has been an increase in the number 

of cancer patients who develop coronary artery disease 

(CAD) due to different causes. First, many risk factors 

are shared between cancer and CAD. Second, inflammation 

and oxidative stress are common underlying pathogeneses 

in both disorders. Lastly, cancer therapy can result in 

endothelial injury, coronary artery spasm, and 

coagulation, thereby increasing the risk of CAD. As 

more cancer patients are being diagnosed with CAD, 

specialized cardiac care should be established to 

minimize the cardiovascular mortality of cancer 

survivors.
