Article Synopsis
- Cancers and cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death in the U.S., with new cancer therapies reducing mortality but increasing cardiac failures due to treatment toxicity.
- The understanding of how cancer treatments cause heart issues is limited, highlighting the need for effective measures to detect and treat at-risk patients early.
- Current research focuses on identifying inflammation and angiogenesis biomarkers to monitor cardiotoxicity, while also addressing gender and racial disparities in how these side effects affect different populations.
