Drug Combinations and Mechanisms: A Short Analysis

Abstract

Sophia Lee

Chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have given cancer patients new hope. As cancer patient survival rates and clinical experience have expanded, interest in cancer therapy-induced cardiovascular disease has grown. To create effective preventative and treatment measures for the side effects of cancer treatments that can be deadly or result in long-term morbidity, a deeper understanding of the molecular biology underlying the disease is required. In addition to the typical cardio-protection drugs, traditional Chinese medicine formulations are efficient and can be expected to achieve "tailored treatment" from a range of perspectives. Also highlighting the urgent need for collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists is the emergence of "reverse cardio-oncology" as a result of the increased incidence of cancer in persons with cardiovascular disease.
