  • Patients have been diagnosed with cancer through histopathology and have a life expectancy of more than 1 year
  • Fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥ 1.8 mmol/L or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non HDL-C) \> 2.6 mmol/L
  • Participate voluntarily and sign an informed consent
