Advances in Cardiovascular Toxicity Associated with Targeted Therapy for Breast Cancer

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Because of the abundance of diagnosis and treatment methods and the wide application of targeted therapy drugs in recent years, the survival time of breast cancer patients is longer than before and the mortality rate shows a downward trend. However, the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity associated with targeted drug therapy in breast cancer patients is also increasing. This article reviews the research progress of cardiovascular toxicity associated with targeted drug therapy in breast cancer.
