Women diagnosed with breast cancer typically undergo a multimodal approach to treating their disease. The treatments used often result in sequelae such as fatigue, hair loss, nausea and vomiting, and functional impairment. Many of these sequelae can be controlled or eliminated with pharmacological,
BACKGROUND
Aminophylline, a theophylline compound that contains ethylenediamine, has untoward side effects on many organ systems.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this case report was to illustrate the occurrence of acute adverse events (ie, chest discomfort and myocardial enzyme elevation) that may be
Doxorubicin (DXR; Adriamycin) was administered i.v. to 20 Sprague-Dawley rats at 2.5 mg/kg once a week for 8 weeks. The rats were then observed for 2 to 5 weeks post treatment until they developed signs of general and cardiotoxicity (lassitude, ascites, marked ECG changes), at which time 11 of these
BACKGROUND
Anthracyclines are frequently used chemotherapeutic agents for childhood cancer that can cause cardiotoxicity during and after treatment. Although several medical interventions in adults with symptomatic or asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction due to other causes are beneficial, it is not
Crizotinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and it represents the standard of care in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase translocated non-small-cell lung cancer. Crizotinib is generally well tolerated and the most frequent adverse events include gastrointestinal effects, visual
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
The overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) in breast cancer is a poor prognosis. Trastuzumab improves overall survival but is associated with cardiotoxicity, especially a decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In addition, chemotherapy and
Chemotherapy-induced fatigue is a multidimensional symptom. Oxidative stress has been proposed as a working mechanism for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. In this study, doxorubicin (DOX) was tested on skeletal muscle function. Doxorubicin induced impaired ex vivo skeletal muscle relaxation
Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic agents frequently used in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Although it improves disease-free and overall survival, the use of anthracyclines is associated with a cumulative risk of cardiac toxicity. Preventive strategies to optimize cardiac health are OBJECTIVE
This phase II study was undertaken to assess objective response and toxicity of histone deacetylase inhibitor depsipeptide in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
METHODS
A total of 15 patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors received a 4-hour i.v. infusion of depsipeptide at 14
OBJECTIVE
Sunitinib is an oral multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to determine the recommended phase 2 dose, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, and preliminary antitumor activity of sunitinib in a pediatric population.
METHODS
Patients who were 2
Paclitaxel is an antimicrotubule agent that was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because it is insoluble in water, it is mixed with Cremophor EL (polyoxyethylated castor oil). The addition of Cremophor requires the use of glass bottles or polyolefin or polypropylene bags
Pazopanib, an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is associated with improved outcomes in patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Pazopanib may cause cardiotoxicity such as heart failure.A 50-year-old female patient with no OBJECTIVE
This trial was conducted to evaluate the ability of pazopanib to overcome therapeutic 131I resistance.
UNASSIGNED
This phase 1 trial assesses the combination of pazopanib and escalating doses of radioiodine (131I) in patients with recurrent or metastatic thyroid cancer that are borderline
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and safety profile, including the risk for cardiac toxicity, of liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin (TLC D-99), fluorouracil (5-FU), and cyclophosphamide as first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
METHODS
Forty-one women were
