Insights

Cancer and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of death in Japan. The growing elderly population increases the incidence of patients with both conditions, necessitating collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists in the new field of cardio-oncology.

Area of Science:

  • Cardio-oncology
  • Onco-cardiology
  • Cardiovascular disease in oncology

Background:

  • Cancer and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of death in Japan.
  • Increasing incidence of patients with co-existing cancer and cardiovascular disease.
  • Aging population is a significant risk factor for both conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing challenge of managing patients with both cancer and cardiovascular disease.
  • To emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in cardio-oncology.
  • To underscore the importance of addressing cardiovascular health during cancer therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current trends in cancer and cardiovascular disease comorbidities.
  • Analysis of the impact of aging on disease prevalence.
  • Discussion of the emerging field of cardio-oncology.

Main Results:

  • Cancer and cardiovascular disease are major causes of mortality in Japan.
  • The number of patients with both conditions, or developing cardiovascular issues during cancer treatment, is rising.
  • Cardio-oncology is established as a critical interdisciplinary field.

Conclusions:

  • The aging society will likely see a further increase in patients with both cancer and cardiovascular disease.
  • Cooperation between medical oncologists and cardiologists is essential.
  • The field of cardio-oncology is crucial for managing these complex patient cases.

Internal Energy02:00

Internal Energy

The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

Internal Energy01:29

Internal Energy

The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

Internal Receptors01:31

Internal Receptors

Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

International System of Units01:29

International System of Units

The International System of Units, known as the SI system, is a universally accepted measurement system recognized and used worldwide. The SI system is based on a set of three base units considered absolute, and their values do not change with location. These base units are meters, kilograms, and seconds.
Prefixes are used to define both larger and smaller quantities in the SI system. For example, milli, micro, and nano define smaller quantities, while kilo, mega, and giga are used to define...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
