Current Status and Future Perspective of Onco-Hypertension

Area of Science:

• Geriatric Medicine
• Oncology
• Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

• Hypertension and cancer incidence rise with age.
• The concept of Onco-Hypertension addresses the dual risks and comprehensive care needs for aging patients.
• Aging societies face increasing challenges from co-existing hypertension and cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the current understanding of Onco-Hypertension.
• To discuss the future perspectives of managing patients with both hypertension and cancer.
• To present research findings on the interrelationship between hypertension and cancer.

Main Methods:

• This study is a comprehensive literature review.
• It synthesizes existing research on the epidemiological and pathophysiological links between hypertension and cancer.
• Includes analysis of recent findings and future research directions.

Main Results:

• Hypertension and cancer share common risk factors and pathogenic pathways.
• Hypertension contributes to the development of certain cancers.
• Cancer survivors exhibit a higher incidence of hypertension and increased risk of cardiovascular events, necessitating integrated care.

Conclusions:

• Significant epidemiological and pathophysiological connections exist between hypertension and cancer.
• The field of Onco-Hypertension requires further dedicated research.
• Advancing research in Onco-Hypertension is crucial for improving patient outcomes in an aging population.
