[Chinese expert consensus on cardiac biomarkers for monitoring and management of cardiovascular toxicity in cancer therapy (2024 edition)].
摘要
In recent years, the treatment of malignant tumors has continually advanced, significantly extending the survival period of cancer patients. Tumors are increasingly present as chronic diseases over the long term, and the cardiovascular toxicity associated with cancer treatment has become increasingly prominent, severely affecting the effective treatment and survival of cancer patients. As a result, cardio-oncology has gained considerable attention as an emerging discipline. However, cardiovascular diseases in cancer patients often have an insidious onset, and early identification and treatment are frequently overlooked. Throughout the course of cancer treatment, it is crucial to reasonably apply cardiac biomarkers for risk stratification, early identification, and screening of cardiovascular diseases in patients, as well as to improve the early diagnosis and treatment levels of cardiovascular diseases in cancer patients. To this end, Cardio-Oncology Group, Chinese Society of Cardiology in conjunction with Cardiovascular Expert Committee, China Medical Doctor Association of Laboratory Medicine, organized experts in relevant fields to compile this consensus. It aims to provide a basis for clinicians to standardize the screening and management of cardiovascular toxicity related to cancer treatment through the reasonable application of cardiac biomarkers.
