Treatment of prostate cancer (PC) is a rapidly evolving field of pharmacology research. In recent years, numerous novel therapeutics that improve survival and ameliorate disease control have been approved. Currently, the systemic treatment for prostate neoplasm consists of hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiopharmaceuticals, targeted therapy, and supportive agents (e.g., related to bone health). Unfortunately, many of them carry a risk of cardiovascular complications, which occasionally pose a higher mortality threat than cancer itself. This article provides a unique and comprehensive overview of the prevalence and possible mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicities of all PC therapies, including state-of-the-art antineoplastic agents. Additionally, this article summarizes available recommendations regarding screening and prevention of the most common cardiac complications among patients with advanced cancer disease.

Extended Anticoagulant Treatment with Full- or Reduced-Dose Apixaban in Patients with Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolism: Rationale and Design of the API-CAT Study

Isabelle Mahe, Giancarlo Agnelli, Cihan Ay, Aristotelis Bamias, Cecilia Becattini, Marc Carrier, Celine Chapelle, Alexander T. Cohen, Philippe Girard, Menno Huisman, Frederikus A. Klok, Juan J. Lopez-Nunez, Anthony Maraveyas, Didier Mayeur, Olivier Mir, Manuel Monreal, Marc Righini, Charles M. Samama, Kostas Syrigos, Sebastian Szmit, Adam Torbicki, Peter Verhamme, Eric Vicaut, Tzu-Fei Wang, Guy Meyer, Silvy Laporte

Summary: The API-CAT study aims to evaluate whether a reduced-dose regimen of apixaban is noninferior to a full-dose regimen in preventing recurrent VTE in cancer patients. This international, randomized, double-blind trial will assess VTE events as the primary efficacy outcome and clinically relevant bleeding as the principal safety endpoint.

Baseline Electrocardiographic and Echocardiographic Assessment May Help Predict Survival in Lung Cancer Patients-A Prospective Cardio-Oncology Study

Sabina Medrek, Sebastian Szmit

Summary: Lung cancer is a highly lethal disease, and its prognosis is influenced by histopathological and molecular diagnosis, clinical advancement, performance status, and comorbidities. Certain echocardiographic parameters are associated with poor performance status, providing objective confirmation of exercise intolerance in lung cancer patients. Atrial fibrillation and high heart rate in electrocardiogram are predictive of early death. Selected echocardiographic parameters can help predict poor prognosis in lung cancer patients and, when combined with electrocardiogram evaluation, broaden the possibilities of prognostic assessment.

Summary: The aim of this study is to develop quality indicators (QIs) for evaluating the prevention and management of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity. The study followed the ESC methodology and involved identifying key domains of care, conducting a literature review, and selecting the final set of indicators. The study was conducted in collaboration with various associations and resulted in the selection of 5 main and 9 secondary QIs across five domains of care. Overall, this study is of great importance in improving clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Beta Blockers with Statins May Decrease All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases and Locally Advanced Unresectable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer after Chemoradiotherapy

Magdalena Zaborowska-Szmit, Sebastian Szmit, Marta Olszyna-Serementa, Pawel Badurak, Katarzyna Zajda, Anna Janowicz-Zebrowska, Aleksandra Piorek, Magdalena Knetki-Wroblewska, Piotr Jaskiewicz, Adam Pluzanski, Maciej Krzakowski, Dariusz M. Kowalski

Summary: Concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by maintenance treatment with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab is the most effective therapy in unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, severe toxicity may lead to unsatisfactory outcomes. Sequential CRT may be a better choice for patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) to avoid adverse events and maintain effectiveness. Beta-blockers and statins can significantly reduce all-cause mortality in these patients, and may serve as a prevention strategy in NSCLC patients undergoing CRT.

Long COVID syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Maria Wieteska-Milek, Beata Kusmierczyk-Droszcz, Katarzyna Betkier-Lipinska, Sebastian Szmit, Michal Florczyk, Piotr Zielinski, Piotr Hoffman, Pawel Krzesinki, Marcin Kurzyna

Summary: The study focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on pulmonary hypertension (PH) prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The findings show that over 60% of PAH/CTEPH patients who survived COVID-19 experienced long COVID-19 syndrome, but their 1-year risk of death due to PH did not significantly change. Common persistent symptoms reported by patients include fatigue, joint and muscle pain, nasal congestion, anosmia, insomnia, and dyspnea. The majority of patients had a low or intermediate-low risk of 1-year death due to PH both before and after COVID-19.

Summary: This study aims to determine the usefulness of Karnofsky performance status (KPS) monitoring and to define the factors determining clinical deterioration during sequential chemoradiotherapy. The study included 196 patients and found that deterioration of KPS was associated with disease control rate 6 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy.

Summary: Thrombocytopenia is a common condition in cancer patients and can limit the use of antithrombotic treatments. Owing to the increased risk of bleeding and the potential interactions with anticancer medications, managing thrombocytopenia in cancer patients requires special attention. The European Hematology Association and the European Society of Cardiology have collaborated to provide clinical practice guidelines for the management of cancer patients with thrombocytopenia.
