Cardiovascular death risk in patients with solid tumors: a population-based study in the United States.

Background: Previous studies have focused on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific death in hematological cancers and in some single anatomical tumor sites, there remains a paucity of data on systematic analyses in solid tumors.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the distribution, risk, and trends of CVD-specific death in patients with solid tumors.

Methods: A total of 2 679 293 patients with solid tumors diagnosed between 1975 and 2019 were screened from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program across 15 anatomical sites.
