- Abstract
A study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology titled "Unravelling race inequities in cardiovascular disease mortality among cancer survivors: new insights and future directions" examines the factors that contribute to racial disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among cancer survivors in the United States. The study found that Black cancer survivors have a higher risk of CVD mortality compared to White survivors across all 18 adult-onset cancer types. Socio-economic characteristics, such as health insurance and neighborhood socio-economic status, were shown to mediate racial disparities in CVD mortality. The authors suggest updating clinical guidelines to incorporate social determinants of health as a way to address these disparities. However, there are still knowledge gaps in understanding the specific factors that drive these disparities, such as comorbid conditions and the impact of cancer treatments on cardiovascular health. The study emphasizes the need for further research to identify tangible targets for intervention and reduce racial disparities in cardiovascular outcomes among cancer survivors.
