Can Cardiovascular Disease Influence Cancer Progression or Treatment?
Cardiovascular disease can influence cancer progression and treatment in several ways. Patients with pre-existing CVD may have limited options for cancer treatment due to the potential for exacerbating their heart condition. Furthermore, the stress of managing both cancer and CVD can impact a patientâs overall health and ability to adhere to treatment regimens. Managing comorbidities effectively is critical to ensure that cancer treatment is both effective and safe.
