Prospective surveillance and management of cardiac toxicity and health in breast cancer survivors
Key result
Adjuvant breast cancer therapies may result in treatment-related cardiotoxic outcomes in up to 33% of patients, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary prospective surveillance system.

Multidisciplinary prospective surveillance system for cardiotoxicity
Highlights the significant risk of late-cardiac toxicity in breast cancer survivors and proposes a multidisciplinary prospective surveillance system for earlier detection and management.
Cite This Study
Schmitz et al. (2012) conducted a review in Breast cancer. Multidisciplinary prospective surveillance system was evaluated. Adjuvant breast cancer therapies may result in treatment-related cardiotoxic outcomes in up to 33% of patients, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary prospective surveillance system.
