Sex differences in cancer incidence and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease: the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer-Norfolk study

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to investigate sex differences in cancer incidence and mortality among individuals with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD) using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer-Norfolk study. Findings revealed that men had a significantly higher lifetime risk of incident cancer and cancer-related mortality compared to women, particularly among those with CVD, suggesting that comorbidities may mediate these differences.
