Abstract
Understanding the complex interaction between coronary heart disease (CHD) and cancer is fundamental to selecting optimal treatment strategies and improving survival rates. Our review presents new risk factors and analyzes the pathogenetic mechanisms of mutually aggravating diseases.
Algorithms for surgical interventions in patients with CHD and malignant neoplasms are currently not defined. The balance of risks and benefits may depend not only on the indications for surgical revascularization and the complexity of the coronary lesion, but also on the risk of bleeding, thrombosis, and the overall prognosis of cancer. A review of perioperative and long-term results of treatment of CHD in a complex category of patients will help practicing physicians to decide on the possibility of myocardial revascularization even in disseminated cancer patients. However, further fundamental clinical research is needed to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
