Abstract
Chemotherapy has led to significant improvement in the management of cancer 1. However, the use of common chemotherapeutic agents is limited by their toxicity to normal tissue 2–5. There are several drugs that are reported to have specific cardiotoxic effects, and these are summarized in table 8–1. Radiation therapy to the mediastinum is also limited by radiation-induced cardiotoxic effects, and its toxicity has been reported to be synergistic with adriamycin (ADR; doxorubicin hydrochloride) treatment 4, 6, 7. Furthermore, there are a variety of drugs, including actinomycin D, bleomycin, mithramycin, mitomycin C, and vincristine, that increase the incidence of ADR cardiotoxicity when administered simultaneously or subsequent to ADR therapy 6, 8–11.
