Abstract
The relationship between cancer diagnosis and cardiovascular diseases is complex, with newly diagnosed patients facing a higher risk of coronary disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Compared to the general population, they have two to six times more risk of dying from cardiovascular causes. Cardiovascular complications arising from chemotherapy and radiotherapy, along with social and healthcare access disparities, complicate the collection of accurate data on the incidence of cancer and cardiotoxicity in marginalized populations. Among the LGBTQ community, certain types of cancer are more prevalent, and hormone administration for gender affirmation is also under study. The delay in cancer screening in the transgender population results in late detections and deaths from cancer. Research on cancer in the transgender population and cardiotoxicity is limited, but special attention is needed to develop detection and prevention strategies in specific situations, such as hormone-dependent tumors.
