Abstract 2477
Background
ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) and a history of cancer can coexist because both are highly incident and prevalent. We sought to investigate if a previous diagnosis of cancer influences the outcome of patients with STEMI treated with primary coronary angioplasty.
Methods
We included 917 patients in a prospective cohort observational study, 53 of them (5.8%) cancer survivors. The primary end-point was total mortality.
Results
Out of the 53 patients with history of cancer, all which have been included in the analysis, 12 (23.0%) were treated with chemotherapy, 38 (72.0%) with radiotherapy and 12 (23.0%) had surgical treatment. Cancer locations were: breast cancer in 10 patients (18.9%), gastrointestinal tract in 11 (20.8%), prostate in 10 (18.9%), urologic in 7 (13.2%), hematologic malignancies in 5 (9.4%), respiratory tract in 5 (9.4%) and other locations in 3 (5.7%). One hundred patients died during a median follow-up of 643 days (interquartile range 258 to 1015 days), 88 (10.2%) in patients without cancer and 12 (22.6%) in patients with cancer, being this difference significant (log-rank test=8.4, p = 0.004). Cancer patients were older: 73.4 (11.5) vs 65.2 (13.8) years (p < 0.001), with a lower prevalence of previous stroke: 1.1% vs 2.2%, p = 0.002. The hemoglobin concentration was also lower: 13.4 (2.1) vs 14.4 (1.7) g/L, p = 0.001. No significant differences were found in the data gleaned from the primary angioplasty, although a trend towards a lower use of coronary stents in cancer survivors was noted (p = 0.061). Cancer was associated with a high probability of death, HR = 2.37 (95% confidence interval 1.30 to 4.34), p = 0.005. When confounding variables were included in a multivariate Cox regression model, this association was no longer significant: HR = 1.63 (0.84-3.18), p = 0.150.
Conclusions
We failed to demonstrate a survival advantage of patients with ST-segment myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary angioplasty when patients did not have a previous cancer. The finding of a difference in crude mortality rate can be explained by the baseline differences between both groups.
