Hypertension in Cancer Patients

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is common in cancer patients due to factors like stress, treatment side effects, or cancer itself. Certain cancer therapies, especially chemotherapy and targeted treatments, can raise blood pressure. High blood pressure puts extra strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and other complications. Monitoring and managing blood pressure is important for cancer patients to ensure their overall health and improve treatment outcomes. Regular check-ups and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels during cancer treatment.
