The prognostic impact of cancer status (active vs. past) and its anatomical site remains insufficiently defined. We evaluated the association between cancer and short- and long-term outcomes after AMI in a large population cohort. Methods: Using linked administrative databases from Lombardy, Italy, we identified adults with a first AMI hospitalization from 2014 to 2022 (N = 124,403). Patients were categorized by cancer history, cancer status (active vs. past), and cancer site. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality; secondary endpoints were 1-year all-cause mortality and 1-year rehospitalization for AMI or acute heart failure (AHF). Multivariable log-binomial, Cox, and Fine&amp;Gray models were applied. Results: Overall, 18,463 (14.8%) had a history of cancer. They were older and had higher comorbidity burden. Cancer history was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (adjusted risk ratio [RR] 1.06, 95% CI 0.99\u20131.13) and one-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.46, 95% CI 1.40\u20131.52). Active cancer carried the greatest risk (in-hospital RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.00\u20131.15; 1-year HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.53\u20131.68), whereas past cancer showed no excess mortality. Site-specific analyses identified lung (one-year HR 2.69, 95% CI 2.15\u20133.37) and hematological cancers (one-year HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.88\u20132.56) as highest-risk. Elevated mortality with cancer was consistent in STEMI and NSTEMI. Competing-risk analyses showed a similar risk of rehospitalization among cancer and non-cancer patients. Conclusions: In a real-world, unselected AMI population, cancer worsens short- and long-term survival, especially when active and involving the lungs or the hematopoietic tissues. Incorporating cancer status into AMI risk stratification and strengthening cardio-oncology pathways in acute care are warranted to improve patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15103730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]],"date-time":"2026-05-12T16:04:36Z","timestamp":1778601876000},"page":"3730","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prognostic Impact of Cancer in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Population-Based Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8628-3106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicola","family":"Cosentino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3947-7781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filippo","family":"Trombara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9620-8057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matteo","family":"Franchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Unit of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca, 20900 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4038-8033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Cardinale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardioncology Unit, Cardioncology and Second Opinion Division, European Institute of Oncology, I.R.C.C.S., 20141 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Bonomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mattia","family":"Dall\u2019Asta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivia","family":"Leoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Epidemiological Observatory, Lombardy Region, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Maragna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Cannata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1339-6679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianluca","family":"Pontone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perioperative Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, University of Milan, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4410-4461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giancarlo","family":"Marenzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, 20138 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"308","article-title":"Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2025","volume":"75","author":"Wagle","year":"2025","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
