About This Assessment

Research shows that certain health conditions (comorbidities) can affect cancer survival outcomes. This tool collects basic health information to:

Provide more relevant survival statistics based on your demographic
Highlight potential interactions between cancer and existing conditions
Suggest additional considerations for treatment planning

Your data stays in your browser - we do not collect or store any personal health information.

1. Basic Information

Gender (at birth)

Male Female

Age Range

Under 40 Early-onset cancers may have different characteristics 40-49 years Cancer screening often begins in this age group 50-59 years Incidence increases significantly in this decade 60-69 years Most common age group for cancer diagnosis 70-79 years Treatment decisions may factor in overall health 80+ years Quality of life often prioritized in treatment

2. Chronic Conditions

Select any conditions you have been diagnosed with. These can affect cancer treatment and prognosis.

✓

Diabetes Type 1 or Type 2

✓

Hypertension High blood pressure

✓

Heart Disease CAD, heart failure, etc.

✓

Kidney Disease CKD or on dialysis

✓

Liver Disease Hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc.

✓

COPD/Lung Disease Chronic lung conditions

✓

Autoimmune Disease Lupus, RA, etc.

✓

None of the above No chronic conditions

Research Note: Studies show that diabetes is associated with a 3.75x mortality rate ratio in cancer patients. Colorectal cancer patients with diabetes have median survival of 4.9 years vs 8.5 years with hypertension alone. Source: Nature Scientific Reports 2024

4. Cancer History

Information about family history and previous diagnoses.

Family History of Cancer

No known family history Extended family Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins Immediate family Parents or siblings with cancer Multiple family members May indicate hereditary cancer syndrome

Previous Cancer Diagnosis

No previous cancer Yes, in remission/cured Completed treatment, no active disease Yes, currently being treated Active cancer treatment

How Health Conditions Affect Cancer Outcomes

Condition	Impact on Cancer	Hazard Ratio	Research Finding
Type 2 Diabetes	Increased mortality, affects treatment tolerance	3.75x	Associated with higher all-cause mortality in cancer patients
Hypertension	May affect treatment choices	1.2-1.5x	CRC patients with HTN: 8.52 years median survival
Current Smoking	Worse outcomes across most cancers	2.15x	Strongest modifiable risk factor for mortality
Low Physical Activity	Associated with poorer survival	1.59x	Regular exercise improves outcomes and quality of life
Heart Disease	May limit treatment options	Variable	Some chemotherapy agents affect heart function
Kidney Disease	Affects drug metabolism and dosing	Variable	May require adjusted treatment protocols
