Abstract:
The cardiovascular (CV) toxicity profiles of traditional cancer therapies such as anthracyclines and radiation therapy are familiar to many cardiologists. With the development and widespread use of additional cancer therapeutics, CV toxicities related to these agents are becoming more common. Cardiovascular specialists are often integrated into the care team for individuals with cancer and knowledge of the CV toxicities of cancer therapeutics has become essential. In this review, we provide a clinically focused summary of the current data regarding CV toxicities of common cancer therapies and identify potential management strategies for the CV specialist.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
