Abstract:
It is well-known that modern oncotherapy significantly reduced the mortality of malignant diseases. However, serious side effects of the applied cancer therapies have evolved, which may adversely affect the cardiovascular system. Early side effects often limit therapeutic success of oncotherapy and may require treatment interruption, while late-onset side effects can adversely influence the long-term survival of patients recovering from cancer. Oncocardiology is a new medical field gaining more and more attention. It aims at the optimisation of the efficacy of cancer therapy and clinical outcome of patients. In the current review we present such important recommendations that may help the management of cardiovascular toxicity of cancer therapy in the everyday clinical practice.

Some cancer cells respond to one...
