Antithrombotic strategy in cancer patients comorbid with acute coronary syndrome and atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

It has been shown that patients with cancer have a longer expected life duration, benefiting from advanced medical therapy. Meanwhile, the risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been increasing with ageing. A growing number of studies have elucidated the association between cancer and CVD.
