Incidental Receipt of Cardiac Medications and Survival Outcomes Among Patients With Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer After Definitive Radiotherapy

Incidental receipt of ACEIs was associated with a higher prevalence of local failure, whereas receipt of either β-blockers or aspirin had protective effects on survival outcomes in this large group of patients with lung cancer. This finding warrants further clinical and preclinical exploration, as it may have important implications for treating patients with lung cancer who are also receiving cardiac medications.
