Atherosclerosis and malignant tumours.

N H Sternby

    Bulletin of the World Health Organization
    |January 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Malignant diseases generally showed less atherosclerosis, but men with lung or prostate cancer had more. Atherosclerosis development in cancer patients may be influenced by wasting, not a direct negative effect of cancer itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis is a significant health concern.
    • The relationship between malignant diseases and atherosclerosis requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate aortic and coronary atherosclerosis in patients with malignant diseases.
    • To compare atherosclerosis levels in cancer patients with reference groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study design.
    • Analysis of aortic and coronary atherosclerosis.
    • Inclusion of three atherosclerosis reference groups.

    Main Results:

    • Subjects with malignant diseases generally exhibited reduced atherosclerosis.

  • Men with lung or prostate cancer showed increased aortic atherosclerosis.
  • Tumors specific to females were associated with less extensive atherosclerosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Malignant diseases do not appear to have a direct negative impact on atherosclerosis.
    • Wasting may be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis development in cancer patients.
    • Most cancer patients, excluding those with lung and prostate cancer, could be classified in a low atherosclerosis group.
