Colon cancer and its treatment may impact coronary calcification progression, potentially altering expected patterns of vascular aging and highlighting the need for cancer-specific assessments of cardiovascular risk. Our findings suggest that initial age primarily reflects pre-existing calcification, rather than acting as an independent risk factor for future calcification progression. This underscores the importance of baseline coronary calcification as a key determinant of calcification progression and suggests that cardiovascular risk assessment in colon cancer patients should account for factors beyond age alone.
