Cardiac and noncardiac biomarkers in patients undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy - a prospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biomarkers represent a potential tool to identify individuals at risk for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AICT) prior to symptom onset or left ventricular dysfunction.

Methods

This study examined the levels of cardiac and noncardiac biomarkers before, after the last dose of, and 3-6 months after completion of doxorubicin chemotherapy. Cardiac biomarkers included 5th generation high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2). Noncardiac biomarkers included activated caspase-1 (CASP-1), activated caspase-3, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, myeloperoxidase (MPO), galectin-3, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine.
