ABSTRACT
Oncologic patients are vulnerable to a broad spectrum of cancer related cardiovascular complications during and/or after antineoplastic treatment. This article is dealing with the main drugs used in real world clinical practice, including conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and their potential cardiovascular toxicity. Diagnosis of cancer- related cardiovascular events requires thorough clinical evaluation, multimodality imaging techniques and cardiac biomarkers according to established guidelines of cardio-oncology. Multidisciplinary approach and individualized strategies are essential and crucial in confronting oncologic patients.
