Risk of death from cardiovascular disease following breast cancer in Southeast Asia: a prospective cohort study

Abstract Breast cancer incidence and survival is high in Southeast Asia. As such, many women diagnosed with breast cancer are at risk of dying of other causes. Given the increased risk of cardiotoxicity induced by breast cancer treatments, it is important to identify patients at high risk of cardiov...
