Background/objectives: Cardio-oncology has become essential in addressing cardiovascular complications from cancer therapies. While advancements in treatments have improved survival rates, they also increase cardiovascular risks. This study evaluates the cardiotoxic effects of cytostatic treatments, examining the relationship between tumor characteristics, such as histopathology and TNM classification, and cardiovascular complications, aiming to improve cardiotoxicity prevention and management in oncology patients.

- - Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant health challenge globally, particularly affecting survival rates in patients with metastatic CRC, prompting a study of various clinical and laboratory parameters among 188 patients with liver metastases from 2016 to 2023.
- - Key findings suggest that higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and lymphocyte counts correlate with improved survival, whereas elevated scores on the Neutrophil-Hemoglobin-Lymphocyte (NHL) index, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) indicate poorer outcomes; notably, liver metastasis at diagnosis significantly decreases overall survival.
