Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 506 patients treated at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital (2018-2023).
Results: Clinical and imaging biomarkers, including NT-proBNP (P < 0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; P = 0.003), and left atrial diameter (LA; P = 0.012), were evaluated. Lasso-Cox regression identified eight significant predictors (all P < 0.05), which were incorporated into a nomogram. The model exhibited excellent discrimination in both the training (AUC 0.82, 95% CI 0.78-0.86) and validation cohorts (AUC 0.79, 95% CI 0.74-0.83). Time-dependent ROC curves demonstrated consistent predictive accuracy at 4 weeks (AUC 0.80, P < 0.001), 8 weeks (AUC 0.81, P < 0.001), and 12 weeks (AUC 0.79, P = 0.002). Calibration curves indicated good agreement (Hosmer-Lemeshow test P = 0.34), and decision curve analysis confirmed the model's clinical utility (net benefit > 15% across threshold probabilities).
Conclusion: This validated tool facilitates early CTRCD risk stratification (C-index 0.80, P < 0.001), supporting personalized monitoring of cardiotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
