Advanced Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Despite the rapid development of novel anti-cancer therapeutic agents and ensuing improved prognosis, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death globally, of which the majority of mortality could be attributed to advanced lung cancer. Hypertension is frequently diagnosed among patients with advanced lung cancer, either a comorbidity or complication, and is associated with increased incidence of cardiac adverse events, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiac arrhythmias, hence aggravating patients' prognosis. Sacubitril/valsartan, a combination of an angiotensin II receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), is a novel agent to treat HF and has been approved to treat hypertension in China, of which the cardio-protective effect has been widely acknowledged. Yet current knowledge remains lacking on the influence of ARNI on the prognosis of advanced lung cancer with concurrent hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of ARNI in patients with advanced lung cancer and concurrent hypertension.
Interventions
ARNI is prescribed for lung cancer patients with concurrent arterial hypertension
Anti-hypertensive drugs except ARNI
