Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of non-cancer related mortality and morbidity among people living with or cured from cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are systemic anti-cancer therapies that have revolutionized the treatment of numerous cancers, even achieving durable long-term responses among patients with metastatic disease. However, the pro-inflammatory effects of ICIs have been postulated to increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in cancer survivorship. Standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors can further contribute to ASCVD risk during cancer survivorship but are not routinely screened and are often untreated in patients with cancer. With the expanding use of ICIs leading to improved cancer survivorship, cardiovascular risk identification and prevention will be paramount in the care of patients with cancer. This review highlights the practical challenges associated with ASCVD prevention among the growing number of patients treated with ICIs for cancer, including balancing competing mortality risks from cancer and ASCVD, the lack of ICI-specific cardiovascular risk stratification tools, potential interactions between cardiovascular and oncological therapies, and barriers to implementation of cardiovascular screening and prevention within existing healthcare systems.

Aims: Radiation therapy (RT) is an integral component of cancer therapy but associated with adverse events. Our goal was to establish risk prediction models for major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after chest RT.
Methods and results: A retrospective study of lung/breast cancer patients who had chest RT with planning CT at Mayo Clinic between 01/2010 and 01/2014. Predictive models were developed based on weighted independent predictors using a derivation (406 lung and 711 breast cancer) and validation cohort (179 lung and 234 breast cancer). Patient characteristics, pre-RT CT for coronary artery calcification (CAC), and post-RT MACCE data were reviewed. Post-RT MACCE occurred in 6.1 and 5.6% in the derivation and validation cohort over a mean follow-up of 42 ± 13 months. Post-therapy model (C2AD2) included CAC (two points), MACCE history (two points), age ≥74 (three points), DM (two points), and mean heart radiation dose ≥ 850 mGy (two points), and pre-therapy model (C2AD) included post-therapy model parameters minus mean heart radiation dose. Both models stratified patients into three risk groups: low (0-2), intermediate (3-5), and high (≥6). Post-RT MACCE across these groups were 2.7, 8.9, and 19.8% in the derivation, and 3.9, 6.6, and 16.4% in the validation cohort for post-therapy model (C2AD2) and 2.8, 9.2, and 20.4% in the derivation and 3.7, 9.2, and 13.2% in the validation cohort for pre-therapy model. Both models showed statistically significant graded survival outcome.
Conclusion: Post-therapy (C2AD2) and pre-therapy (C2AD) models are simple, easy to use and effective tools to stratify breast and lung cancer patients undergoing chest radiation for post-RT MACCE.
