Cardiovascular risks of Asian patients on androgen-receptor-targeted agents for prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prostate cancer is now one of the most prevalent cancers in men in Asia. As the average life expectancy of Asian males with prostate cancer increases with the availability of treatment options, the possible risk of cardiac-related adverse effects arising from androgen-receptor-targeted agents (ARTAs) may be increased due to the greater exposure. We aim to perform a meta-analysis on the incidence of cardiac-related adverse events in Asian patients with prostate cancer treated with ARTAs.

Materials and methods

Databases were thoroughly searched for relevant articles. The Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome Study type model was used to frame our clinical question, and 2 independent authors went through several rounds of screening to select the final included stud
