Table 4. Atherosclerotic prevalence in leukemia/lymphoma, lung, colorectal, breast, uterus/cervix, prostate cancer patients and control group: fractures; patients ≥ 50 years old.

  Subgroup Prevalence (%) Within Total Athero Prevalence (%) of Athero Within Total Subgroup
Both Leukemia/Lymphoma 4.44 12.57
Lung 5.35 17.63
Colorectal* 5.54 18.17
Female Breast 5.57 9.79
Uterus/Cervix 1.41 11.47
Male Prostate 5.86 18.40
Out group Fractures 9.54 27.40

Prevalence (%) within total athero = (# of patients with specific cancer and athero) / (total # of patients with athero) * 100. Prevalence (%) of athero within total subgroup = (# of patient with specific cancer and athero) / (total # of patients with specific cancer) * 100.

* The colorectal data from BIDMC produced a fatal error in the union set search and was, therefore, excluded.
