5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel is an effective chemotherapy regimen for early-stage breast cancer (BC). However, these drugs associate with a 5% incidence of heart failure (HF). To attenuate the cardiovascular toxicity of...

Breast cancer chemotherapy, although very potent against tumour tissue, results in significant cardiovascular toxicity. The focus of research in this area has been predominantly towards cardiotoxicity. There is limited evidence detailing the impact o...
