摘要

Purpose of Review

This review examines the current evidence and management strategies for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with cancer. We outline the unique challenges, optimal treatment approaches, and outcomes in this growing population.

Recent Findings

First-line medications for CAD management are consistently underutilized in cancer patients despite serving as standard of care. As a corollary, medical optimization in CAD management in general is less likely to occur in patients with cancer. Early invasive strategies in ACS show improved survival, yet cancer patients receive percutaneous coronary intervention less frequently than non-cancer patients.

Summary

Optimization of medical management should be prioritized in stable CAD; revascularization with PCI is first line for most patients presenting with ACS. Modification of risk factors contributing to both CAD and cancer is of utmost importance. Cancer survivors should receive vigilant, long-term monitoring for the development of signs of CAD.
