New study aims to shield cancer survivors from heart disease
NCT ID NCT05366153
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a tailored prevention plan can stop coronary artery disease (CAD) in people who had cancer treatment more than 5 years ago. About 748 survivors aged 40-70 will get heart risk checks and, if needed, a CT scan to guide prevention. The goal is to catch and manage heart risks early, before they become serious.
