Abstract

The combination of 2 or 3 comorbidities significantly increases the incidence of symptomatic cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity. Patients with bca experiencing cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity who have a history of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity might require more proactive strategies for prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiotoxicity while receiving trastuzumab-based treatment.
