Pre-Existing and Post-Cancer Major Cardiovascular Disease and Their Association With Mortality Outcomes Among Cancer Survivors in Australia

Background

As cancer survival improves, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as a major competing cause of death. However, population-level evidence on the burden of pre-existing and post-cancer CVD remains limited. This study aims to quantify pre-existing and post-cancer newly documented major CVD and their association with mortality outcomes among people with cancer.
