The Intersection of Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease: A Brief Review of Flow and Transport Mechanisms

Key Points

• Flow mechanisms significantly influence tumor microenvironment, affecting cancer progression and treatment responses.
• Cardiovascular disease and cancer share common transport mechanisms that complicate patient outcomes and treatment plans.
• Observational analysis highlights shared risk factors and pathways between cancer and cardiovascular conditions.
• Understanding these interactions may enable better prevention and treatment strategies for both diseases.
