Article Synopsis
- ACEIs and ARBs, commonly used for heart conditions, might help improve survival rates in cancer patients by affecting tumor growth; however, their impact on esophageal and gastric cancer outcomes was unclear.
- This study analyzed 14,463 esophageal and 21,483 gastric cancer patients in Taiwan from 2008 to 2016, assessing their ACEIs/ARBs usage within six months post-diagnosis and comparing survival rates using statistical methods.
- Results indicated that ACEIs/ARBs users had a lower risk of cancer-specific mortality, particularly in gastric cancer, suggesting these medications may provide additional benefits for cancer patients with hypertension.
Aims: New-generation breakpoint cluster region-Abelson tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have a higher incidence of cardiovascular events than imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). However, this knowledge is insufficiently proven. Hence, this study aimed to explore the association between cardiovascular events and TKIs in patients with CML.
