Radiotherapy and Cardiovascular Disease Survival Risk in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Population‐Based Study From the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background It is well known that radiotherapy increases the cardiovascular risk of cancer patients, but there are few large‐sample studies with cardiovasular‐specific death as the endpoint in lung cancer patients. Methods Patients aged ≥ 18 years diagnosed with non‐small cell lung cancer were retrospectively enrolled from the Surveillance ...
