## TL;DR

This paper discusses managing a patient with cervical cancer and heart disease by deciding the best treatment order and surgical approaches.

## Contribution

The paper provides a case report and management strategy for coexisting cervical carcinoma and coronary artery disease.

## Key findings

- The paper highlights the need to decide whether to treat coronary artery disease or cervical cancer first.
- It discusses the challenges of managing two coexisting major diseases in a single patient.
- It compares surgical options like CABG and PCI in the context of comorbid conditions.

## Abstract

Cancer and cardiovascular disease are the two most common reasons of mortality all over the world. It is common for both diseases to coexist because of the sharing of similar demographic features and risk factors such as obesity, old age, and smoking. Here, we present the case report of a patient with cervical carcinoma along with significant coronary artery disease, the purpose of which is to review planning such as considering percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or on-pump CABG vs off-pump CABG, the flowchart of management plans such as which disease needs to be addressed first, that is, whether it is the coronary artery disease or the carcinoma of the cervix, and the difficulties associated with the management of coexisting conditions.
