Insufficient evidence precludes routine cardioprotective recommendations in anthracycline-treated cancer patients; larger RCTs needed to resolve uncertainty.
Do different anthracycline treatment regimens, cardiac protective agents, or liposomal formulations prevent cardiotoxicity in patients with cancer?
