Abstract

Improvements in cancer treatment have markedly reduced cancer-related mortality. However these benefi ts do not come without risk and the cardiovascular eff ects of some treatments impact in the long-term mortality of cancer survivors. The new approach to minimize cardiotoxicity is based on a continuous cardiovascular monitoring, based on cardiac imaging techniques, to detect early changes predictive of cardiotoxicity, in order to minimize it and to start treatment in a reversible stage. This article reviews the current indications of the diff erent imaging techniques in cancer patients monitoring.
