Racial/Ethnic Disparities in All-Cause/CVD Mortality Among U.S. Cancer Patients

In this national population-based study, we found significant racial and ethnic differences in both all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)–specific mortality among U.S. adult cancer patients. Our findings underscore the vital role of accessible cardio-oncologic interventions and highlight the need to identify high-risk populations who may benefit most from early and long-term survivorship care.
