Patients with malignant tumors are often complicated with cardiovascular diseases
which significantly reduce the survival of patients. Therefore
it is important to early identify the risk of cardiovascular disease and accurately predict the cardiovascular adverse events in patients with malignant tumors. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) score is an important predictor for the risk and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. It has shown great potential in malignant tumor research. In recent years
the value of CAC score in malignant tumors has gradually attracted attention. This article reviewed the mechanism of CAC
the calculation method
clinical applications and research progress in malignant tumors of CAC score.
