Abstract
The global incidence of breast cancer is on the rise, a trend also observed in South Korea. However, thanks to the rapid advancements in anticancer therapies, survival rates are improving. Consequently, post-treatment health and quality of life for breast cancer survivors are emerging as significant concerns, particularly regarding treatment-related cardiotoxicity. In this review, we delve into the cardiovascular complications associated with breast cancer treatment, explore surveillance protocols for early detection and diagnosis of late complications, and discuss protective strategies against cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients undergoing anticancer therapy, drawing from multiple guidelines.

Abstract
The study of mechanisms underlying cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin and the development of strategies to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity are the most relevant issues of modern cardio-oncology. This is due to the high prevalence of cancer in the population and the need for frequent use of highly effective chemotherapeutic agents, in particular anthracyclines, for optimal management of cancer patients. However, while being a potent agent to counteract cancer, doxorubicin also affects the cardiovascular systems of patients undergoing chemotherapy in a significant and unfavorable fashion. Consecutively reviewed in this article are risk factors and mechanisms of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, and the essential strategies to mitigate cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin treatment in cancer patients are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are vulnerable to late adverse events such as obesity and an associated metabolic syndrome. METHODS Children treated for ALL from 2002 to 2012 were included. BMI was calculated at diagnosis, end of treatment, and 5, 8, and 10-years from diagnosis. BMI-centiles were used to categorize the patients: underweight (<5th-percentile), normal (5th-85th percentile), overweight (85th-95th percentile), and obese (≥95th centile). RESULTS The study included 179 children with ALL (median age: 59-months). The proportions of patients who were underweight, normal, overweight/obese, were 37%, 56% and 7%, respectively, at diagnosis; and 15%, 51% and 34%, respectively, at 5-years from diagnosis. The median (IQR) BMI Z-score at diagnosis was -1.12(-2.40, -0.26). The median (IQR) BMI z-score of the cohort was higher after 5 [0.22(-0.83,1.24), P < 0.001] and 10-years of diagnosis [0.30(-0.69,0.99), P < 0.001], respectively. The proportion of overweight/obese individuals was higher after 5 (34%, P < 0.001) and 10 (26%, P = 0.001) years. There was a significant correlation between the baseline BMI Z-score and that observed after 5-years (ρ = 0.49, P < 0.001), and 10-years (ρ = 0.55, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION At 10-years of follow-up, >25% of children with ALL were overweight/obese. The BMI Z-score at the time of diagnosis continued to correlate with the Z-score after 10-years.

BMC Cancer 2022; 22:1198. [PMID: 36411401 PMCID: PMC9677651 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-10314-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations with cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) had inconsistent results. The study aimed to investigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) between populations with and without cancer. METHODS Patients with common cancers in Taiwan were enrolled in the study between 2007 and 2018 using the Taiwan Cancer Registry. We focused on colorectal cancer, women's breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, oral cancer, prostate cancer, and thyroid cancers. The study endpoint was fatal and non-fatal CVD, which was defined as ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke according to the National Health Insurance Research Database. We compared the risk of CVD between patients with cancer and age- and sex-matched (1:1 ratio) participants who did not have cancer or CVD. Multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained from Cox regression analysis. To evaluate the chronological trend, we estimated the HRs and 95% CI yearly since the diagnosis. RESULTS Among the 552,485 cancer patients (mean age, 60.6 years; women, 47.7%) during the median follow-up period of 4.1 years, 32,634 cases of fatal and non-fatal CVD were identified. Compared with that noted in the non-cancer population, the overall fully adjusted HR with 95% CI was 1.28 (1.25, 1.30) in the cancer population. The CVD risk was the highest in the first year, the adjusted HR with 95% CI was 2.31 (2.23, 2.40), and this risk decreased yearly. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cancer had a significantly higher risk of fatal or non-fatal CVD. The risk was the highest in the first year since diagnosis and decreased yearly.

Abstract
The field of cardio-oncology was born from the necessity for recognition and management of cardiovascular diseases among patients with cancer. This need for this specialty continues to grow as patients with cancer live longer as a result of lifesaving targeted and immunologic cancer therapies beyond the usual chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Often, potentially cardiotoxic anticancer treatment is necessary in patients with baseline cardiovascular disease. Moreover, patients may need to continue therapy in the setting of incident cancer therapy–associated cardiotoxicity. Herein, we present and discuss the concept of permissive cardiotoxicity as a novel term that represents an essential concept in the field of cardio-oncology and among practicing cardio-oncology specialists. It emphasizes a proactive rather than reactive approach to continuation of lifesaving cancer therapies in order to achieve the best oncologic outcome while mitigating associated and potentially off-target cardiotoxicities. Permissive cardiotoxicity is a terminology that represents a vital concept in cardio-oncology It emphasizes continued cancer therapy if appropriate, while mitigating cardiotoxicities. Its application is guided by understanding the cancer treatment, alternatives, and prognosis.
