Nearly
Half of Cancer Survivors Died From Conditions Other Than
Cancer
CHICAGO — Although cancer recurrence may be the overriding fear for many survivors, nearly half of survivors from a recently presented study died from other conditions.
These results indicate survivors could potentially benefit from a more comprehensive, less cancer-focused approach to their health, according to lead researcher Yi Ning, M.D., Sc.D., assistant professor in the department of epidemiology and community health at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and associate research member at VCU Massey Cancer Center in Richmond, Va. Ning presented the results at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held here March 31- April 4.
“We realized that the mortality rates for some types of cancer, such as breast cancer, had declined,” said Ning. “Cancer survivors live much longer than they did several decades ago. So with this large group of cancer survivors, we need to pay more attention to cancer survivors’ overall health.”
Ning and colleagues evaluated 1,807 cancer survivors who had participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) study. The most common forms of cancer among the study group were breast, prostate, cervical, lung and colorectal.
When originally surveyed through NHANES, a large percentage of the study group suffered from conditions other than cancer, including cardiovascular conditions, hypertension and diabetes.
Researchers followed patients for more than 18 years. During the course of the study, 776 cancer survivors died. Fifty-one percent died from cancer and 49 percent died from other causes. Cardiovascular disease was the primary cause of noncancer deaths.
Researchers found that the longer patients survived after their initial cancer diagnosis, the more likely they were to die from another disease: 32.8 percent died from another condition within five years of diagnosis compared with 62.7 percent after 20 years.
With nearly half of cancer survivors dying from other causes, Ning said that physicians and patients must improve efforts to manage those risks.
“After the detection of cancer, clinicians and cancer survivors pay less attention to the prevention and treatment of other diseases and complications,” said Ning. “We shouldn’t neglect other aspects of health because we are focused on cancer and overlook other chronic conditions.”

尽管癌症复发的可能是许多幸存者压倒一切的恐惧，从最近发表的研究近一半的幸存者，死于其他疾病。
这些结果表明，幸存者可能受益于更全面，减少癌症为重点的方式对他们的健康，根据在弗吉尼亚联邦大学和弗吉尼亚医学院梅西癌症助理教授（博士博士后导师）宁毅博士在这里举行提出的AACR年度会议2012年(3月31日

4月4日)提出的结果。
“我们意识到，某些类型的癌症，如乳腺癌，死亡率已经下降，”宁毅说。
“癌症幸存者比他们几十年前生活更长的时间。因此，与这种癌症幸存者的大量人群，我们需要更加注重，对癌症幸存者的整体健康。
宁毅和同事评估了1807癌症曾参与国民健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）的研究中的幸存者。研究组中最常见的癌症是乳腺癌，前列腺癌，子宫癌，肺癌和大肠癌。
最初NHANES调查的时候，有的调查对象存在一些疾病，包括心血管疾病，高血压和糖尿病。研究人员随访患者18年。在研究过程中死亡，776癌症幸存者。
51％死于癌症，49％死于其他原因。非癌症死亡的首要原因心血管疾病。
研究人员发现，较长的患者存活后，就越有可能死于其他疾病：诊断五年内32.8％死于其他疾病，20年后62.7％死于其他疾病。
"随着近一半的癌症患者因其他原因死亡"，宁毅说，"医生和患者必须改善管理这些风险的努力"。
“癌症的检测后，医生和癌症幸存者支付较少关注其他疾病和并发症的预防和治疗，”宁毅说。
“我们不应该因为我们对癌症的重点，而忽略其他慢性疾病,忽视其他方面的健康。”

About the AACR
Founded in 1907, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is the world’s first and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research and its mission to prevent and cure cancer. AACR’s membership includes 34,000 laboratory, translational and clinical researchers; population scientists; other health care professionals; and cancer advocates residing in more than 90 countries. The AACR marshals the full spectrum of expertise of the cancer community to accelerate progress in the prevention, biology, diagnosis and treatment of cancer by annually convening more than 20 conferences and educational workshops, the largest of which is the AACR Annual Meeting with more than 18,000 attendees. In addition, the AACR publishes seven peer-reviewed scientific journals and a magazine for cancer survivors, patients and their caregivers. The AACR funds meritorious research directly as well as in cooperation with numerous cancer organizations. As the Scientific Partner of Stand Up To Cancer, the AACR provides expert peer review, grants administration and scientific oversight of individual and team science grants in cancer research that have the potential for patient benefit. The AACR actively communicates with legislators and policymakers about the value of cancer research and related biomedical science in saving lives from cancer.
美国癌症研究学会（AACR）协会成立于1907年，是世界上第一个和最大的专业组织，致力于推进癌症研究和它的使命，以防止和治疗癌症。癌症研究学会的成员包括34000实验室，转化和临床研究人员;人口的科学家;其他医护专业人员和癌症的倡导者，居住在90多个国家。的AACR编组癌症界的专长，加快防治，生物学，诊断和治疗癌症的进展情况，每年召开20多个会议和教育研讨会，其中最大的是超过18,000的AACR年度会议的全谱与会者。此外，癌症研究学会出版七同行评审科学期刊和杂志为癌症幸存者，病人和他们的照顾者。立功的AACR资金直接以及在与众多癌症组织的合作研究。作为合伙人站起来为癌症的科学的AACR提供专家同行评审，补助个人和团队在癌症研究的科学补助金，为病人的利益有潜在的科学管理和监督。积极的AACR通信与立法者和决策者的生活免于癌症的癌症研究和相关的生物医学科学的价值。
