Scientists track Chemotherapy's hidden toll on the heart

NCT ID NCT02916316

Summary

This study aimed to better understand the risk of heart damage in patients receiving a common chemotherapy regimen (R-CHOP) for a type of blood cancer called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Researchers observed 127 adult patients to identify early signs of heart problems linked to the chemotherapy drugs. The goal was to gather information to help predict and monitor this serious side effect in future patients.
