Men with heart disease face higher cancer death risk
The study reveals that men with cardiovascular diseases are at a higher risk of developing cancer and dying from it compared to women, whether they have the disease or not. Lifetime cancer incidence rates were 17.3% among men versus 12.8% among women. The study also found that stomach, esophageal, lung, intestinal, and non-melanoma skin cancers are more common in men with these conditions. The increased risks are linked to shared factors such as smoking, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption. The findings call for enhanced risk management and preventive screenings to reduce health disparities.
