Abstract 903: Circulating inflammatory proteins associated with mortality from causes other than the index cancer in older adult cancer survivors in the atherosclerosis risk in communities study

Background: Inflammation is hypothesized to underlie premature mortality in cancer survivors, yet little is known about the inflammatory proteins and pathways involved. Methods: 474 long-term (≥5 years) older adult survivors of prostate, breast, colorectal, endometrial or bladder cancers in the ARIC study were followed from visit 5 (2011-13) to 12/2018. At visit 5, 580 plasma inflammatory proteins were assayed using the SomaScan platform, a...
