Strategies to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in cancer survivors

Neha Bansal, M. Jacob Adams, Sarju Ganatra et al. · 1 Dec 2019

Cancer diagnostics and therapies have improved steadily over the last few decades, markedly increasing life expectancy for patients at all ages. However, conventional and newer anti-neoplastic therapies can cause short- and long-term cardiotoxicity. The clinical implications of this cardiotoxicity become more important with the increasing use of cardiotoxic drugs. The implications are especially serious among…

5-FU induced cardiotoxicity: case series and review of the literature

Cai Yuan, Hiral D. Parekh, Carmen J. Allegra et al. · 6 Sep 2019

BACKGROUND: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an antimetabolite chemotherapy used for a variety of solid tumors. It has the potential to cause a wide spectrum of cardiotoxicity, ranging from asymptomatic electrocardiographic changes to cardiomyopathy and subsequent cardiac failure. Main body of the abstract: We present two descriptive cases of new-onset severe cardiomyopathy induced by 5-FU followed by…

Doxorubicin cardiotoxicity and target cells: a broader perspective

Antonella De Angelis, Konrad Urbanek, Donato Cappetta et al. · 3 Mar 2016

The cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin is becoming an interdisciplinary point of interest given a growing population of cancer survivors. The complex and not completely understood pathogenesis of this complication makes difficult to design successful preventive or curative measures. Although cardiomyocyte has been considered a classical cellular target, other cells including various types of undifferentiated cells are…

Upfront dexrazoxane for the reduction of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in adults with preexisting cardiomyopathy and cancer: a consecutive case series

Sarju Ganatra, Anju Nohria, Sachin Shah et al. · 29 Jan 2019

Cardiotoxicity associated with anthracycline-based chemotherapies has limited their use in patients with preexisting cardiomyopathy or heart failure. Dexrazoxane protects against the cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines, but in the USA and some European countries, its use had been restricted to adults with advanced breast cancer receiving a cumulative doxorubicin (an anthracycline) dose > 300 mg/m2. We…

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in cancer patients

Aakash Desai, Arish Noor, Saurabh Joshi et al. · 1 Jul 2019

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a chronic condition that induces significant emotional and physical stress, which may increase the risk for developing Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). MAIN BODY: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as stress cardiomyopathy, is a clinical syndrome that generally presents as chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome or as an acute heart failure characterized by severe…
