The aim of this study was to investigate potential deviations in the progression of coronary calcification among colon cancer patients (n=42) relative to the general population. Previous studies have clearly established a link between coronary calcification and cardiovascular risk. This study specifically evaluated the influence of pre-existing coronary calcification (initial CC) and age (initial age) on future calcification progression.
