Association of Myocardial Infarction Among Cervical Cancer Patients

Introduction: Increased risk of myocardial infarction has been validated for several cancers, but limited study evaluated this risk in cervical cancer patients. Our study aimed to evaluate the risk of myocardial infarction in cervical cancer patients.

Method: This study using systematic review that search using keyword myocardial infarction and cervical cancer in Google Scholar and PubMed.

Result: After final screening the author analysize 2 articles.

Conclusion: These study demonstrated cervical cancer patients had a higher risk of myocardial infarction than the general population, especially in younger patients. Most cancers were associated with an increased risk of MI during the first 6 months after diagnosis. MI risk was related to the presence of metastates. Cancer patients may need a more aggressive treatment of classical MI risk factors. Strategies to reduce this risk should be assessed.
