The number of cancer survivors is growing worldwide on account of the aging population and improvements in cancer outcomes attributable to earlier cancer detection and efficacious cancer treatments. Whereas cancer-related causes of death have been declining, non–cancerrelated deaths have been rising, led by cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). 1 Because cancer survivors, both young and old, are surviving longer, they face many health challenges that extend beyond their initial cancer diagnosis. These include effects of cancer treatment (eg, direct or indirect CV injury associated with radiation, surgery, or medications) and psychosocial or lifestyle changes (eg, stress, fatigue, exercise intolerance, weight gain), which may contribute to increased CVD risk among cancer survivors. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that cancer and CVD share several common risk factors (eg, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension) and pathologic mechanisms (eg, inflammation) that may further contribute to adverse CV outcomes among cancer survivors. 2 Prior studies have shown that CVD surpasses cancer as the leading cause of death for a wide range of cancer types. 3 There is a significant need for rigorous prospective studies to estimate the excess CVD risk of cancer survivors and the degree to which excess CVD risk can be attributed to shared CV risk factors (particularly remediable risk factors) so that effective strategies to improve long-term CV health can be developed and implemented among cancer survivors.
