Abstract
Cancer incidence was assessed among a cohort of 10,923 male coronary patien ts in Israel screened for participation in a secondary prevention trial and compared with national cancer incidence rates. Higher total and age-specif ic incidence rates of cancer were observed among male coronary patients tha n among the Israeli male population, but this excess was limited to cancers of the lung, bladder, and colon.
