Navigating the crossroads: cardiometabolic risks in cancer survivorship - a comprehensive review

Arif Albulushi et al. Cardiooncology. .

Abstract

The landscape of cancer survivorship is increasingly populated by individuals facing a spectrum of cardiometabolic risks, attributed to both their oncological history and treatment regimens. This manuscript synthesizes findings from various studies, highlighting the prevalence of traditional risk factors-hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes-as well as emergent concerns like obesity and metabolic syndrome among survivors. The impact of demographic variables, specific cancer types, and treatment modalities on cardiometabolic health is explored. Through a lens of multidisciplinary management and future research directives, we advocate for an integrative approach to cardiometabolic health in cancer survivors, aiming to ensure their victory over cancer extends into long-term well-being.

Keywords: Cancer Survivorship; Cardiometabolic Risks; Cardiovascular Disease; Multidisciplinary Management; Oncologic Treatment.
