Abstract

As the incidence of cancer diagnosis increases and life expectancy of cancer patients improves, events of cardiac arrest in this patient population will also increase. Survival post-cardiac arrest has improved in the cancer patient since first described in the 1970s. However, short-term survival continues to be lower when compared to the general population. Despite this, it is not enough to deny cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) just in the basis of a history of cancer. Therefore, a close understanding of the variables that impact survival of the cancer patient after cardiac arrest is of extreme importance to help both physicians and patients make educated clinical decisions.
