Abstract
Cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) poses a major challenge in managing cancer patients, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality among survivors. CTR-CVT includes various cardiovascular issues, such as cardiomyopathy, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and vascular dysfunction, which significantly impact patient prognosis and quality of life. Metabolic reprogramming, characterized by disruptions in glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, represents a shared pathophysiological feature of cancer and cardiovascular diseases; however, the precise mechanisms underlying CTR-CVT remain inadequately understood. In recent years, strategies targeting metabolic pathways have shown promise in reducing cardiovascular risks while optimizing cancer treatment efficacy. This review systematically summarizes metabolic reprogramming characteristics in both cancer and cardiovascular diseases, analyzes how anticancer therapies induce cardiovascular toxicity through metabolic alterations, and explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic dysregulation. By integrating current research advancements, this review aims to enhance the understanding of CTR-CVT and provide groundwork for the development of safer and more effective cancer approaches.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Cancer Biology (YSCBI) is a specialized review journal that focuses on the field of molecular oncology. Its primary objective is to keep scientists up-to-date with the latest developments in this field.
The journal adopts a thematic approach, dedicating each issue to an important topic of interest to cancer biologists. These topics cover a range of research areas, including the underlying genetic and molecular causes of cellular transformation and cancer, as well as the molecular basis of potential therapies.
To ensure the highest quality and expertise, every issue is supervised by a guest editor or editors who are internationally recognized experts in the respective field. Each issue features approximately eight to twelve authoritative invited reviews that cover various aspects of the chosen subject area.
The ultimate goal of each issue of YSCBI is to offer a cohesive, easily comprehensible, and engaging overview of the selected topic. The journal strives to provide scientists with a coordinated and lively examination of the latest developments in the field of molecular oncology.
