Abstract:
Cisplatin exerts an additional influence on myocardial ischemia induced by the cardiovascular effects of etoposide. Two cases of myocardial ischemia related to combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, etoposide and cisplatin are reported. While the major toxicity associated with systemic chemotherapy is hematologic, it is suggested that, in elderly patients with increased incidence of atherosclerotic disease, special attention be given to vascular complications of antineoplastic agents.
