Abstract
in English, French

The incidence of cancer is raising and the treatments are increasingly aggressive. Consequently, physicians are regularly facing side effects of cytotoxic therapies. Cancer- therapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a serious complication because it can be fatal and causes a temporary or permanent cessation of the treatment. In this article, we summarize the mechanisms, the monitoring and the multidisciplinary management of patients with cancer-therapy induced cardiotoxicity.

Les cancers sont de plus en plus fréquents et leurs traitements de plus en plus agressifs. En conséquence, les médecins se trouvent régulièrement confrontés aux effets secondaires des traitements cytotoxiques. La cardiotoxicité induite par les traitements anti-cancéreux est une complication gravissime, car elle peut être mortelle et provoque un arrêt temporaire, voire définitif, des traitements. Dans cet article, nous décrivons les mécanismes, le dépistage et la prise en charge multidisciplinaire de la cardiotoxicité des agents anti-cancéreux.

Keywords: Cancer; Cardiotoxicity; Chemotherapy; Therapies; Trastuzumab.
