Background: Cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTRCD), in the form of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), is being increasingly recognized. However, the potential benefits of sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) in managing HFrEF secondary to CTRCD remain unclear.
Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of S/V in preventing cardiotoxicity.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies evaluating S/V in patients with HFrEF due to CTRCD and reporting the following outcomes: (1) NYHA class; (2) NT-ProBNP and (3) echocardiographic measurements, specifically left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and E/e' ratio. Statistical analyses were performed using RStudio software. Heterogeneity was assessed using I² statistics.
Results: We included 257 patients from six studies. All patients received S/V. The mean patient age was 63 ± 8 years, and 85% of patients had breast cancer. The mean LVEF was 34±7% at baseline. S/V significantly improved NYHA class compared to baseline (MD -0.7; 95% CI -1.2 to -0.3; p<0.01), NT-proBNP (MD -985.1 pg/mL; 95% CI -1231.3 to -739.1; p<0.01), GLS (MD -2.5%; 95% CI -3.6 to -1.4; p<0.01;), and E/e' (MD -1.99; 95% CI 3.7 to -0.1; p=0.03). LVEF (MD 7.3%; 95% CI 5.4 to 9.2; p<0.01) with S/V treatment relative to baseline.
Conclusion: In patients with HFrEF due to CTRCD, S/V significantly improved the clinical and echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions.

Myt1 kinase: An Emerging Cell Cycle Regulator for Cancer Therapeutics.

Cell cycle checkpoints are stringent quality control mechanisms that regulate cell cycle progression and division. Cancer cells often develop a dependency on the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint to facilitate DNA repair and resolve intrinsic or therapy-induced DNA damage. This dependency leads to therapy resistance, continuous cell division, and disease progression.

This chapter reviews tumor-associated myeloid cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and other innate immune cells, and their multifaceted roles in supporting breast cancer progression and metastasis. In primary tumors, myeloid cells play key roles in promoting tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasion. They can facilitate intravasation (entry into the bloodstream) and colonization, disrupting the endothelial cell layer and reshaping the extracellular matrix.

Conventional cancer treatments often induce a sustained DNA damage response (DDR) in tumor cells, leading to therapy-induced senescence (TIS), characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest and resistance to apoptosis. These senescent cells secrete senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP), which can promote tumor progression and create an immunosuppressive microenvironment. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance chemotherapy efficacy by using functionalized curcuma-derived extracellular vesicles (DR5-CNV/DOX) to target and eliminate senescent tumor cells and inhibit their SASP.

Cancer therapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CT-IT) is one of the most common hematological toxicities of anti-cancer therapy, often leading to treatment dose reduced, postponed, or treatment plans altered or even discontinued. Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the only key regulatory factor in platelet production, and TPO receptor is considered an ideal target for the treatment of thrombocytopenia. Thrombopoietic agents, including recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), bind to different regions of the TPO receptor, activating downstream signaling pathways to increase platelet levels.
