Patients with a previous cancer diagnosis who had an acute STEMI treated by primary PCI did not seem to have a worse prognosis. The difference in the crude mortality rate can be explained by the baseline differences between both groups. Previous cancer diagnosis should not be included in the clinical decision process when a patient is having an acute STEMI.
