Abstract

Hypertension and cancer are both increasing with age. Recently, the new concept of "Onco-Hypertension" has been proposed to address the mutual risks posed by hypertension and cancer and to provide comprehensive care for patients with these two conditions in an aging society.

With recent advances in cancer therapy, the number of cancer survivors has increased.
