  Chemotherapy (CT) with anthracyclines can generate cardiotoxicity. The immunological system is part of the response to treatment with CT. Women with breast cancer were evaluated during their CT treatment, assessing their response to cardiotoxicity according to the treatment regimens and the classification of the cancer. Single CT and combined CT groups were made up (anthracyclines, Trastuzumab, and taxanes). Cardiotoxicity was measured as the Left Ventricle Expulsion Function (LVEF). The hematological response was measured start and at the end of treatment as the Lymphocyte/Macrophage Index (L/M) and the Lymphocyte/Platelet Index (L/P) The study included 451 women with breast cancer, among whom 230 underwent follow-up with LVEF on at least three occasions. Eight study groups were conformed based on their CT treatment. The comparison with LVEF was obtained between the baseline and the .. Read More»
