Cardio-oncology & otherCohort study
Increased Cardiac Risk After a Second Malignant Neoplasm Among Childhood Cancer Survivors
- Retrospective cohort study
- landmark approach
- time-dependent exposure
- competing-risk analysis
Authors' conclusion
The occurrence of a SMN among CCS is associated with an increased risk of cardiac disease occurrence and risk at younger ages.
Study context
- Population
- Childhood cancer survivors, French Childhood Cancer Survivors Study cohort, diagnosed 1945–2000median follow-up 30 years
- Participants
- 7,670 survivors
- Exposure
- Second malignant neoplasm (SMN) vs no SMN
- Outcome
- Cardiac disease after a SMN
