Abstract

Cardiotoxicity of anticancer therapy is a severe adverse cardiovascular event affecting the survival of cancer patients. Modern methods for diagnosing cardiotoxicity allow to identify already occurred myocardial transformations, accompanied by symptoms of heart failure and are not predict and detect early changes in the heart tissue during treatment. Recently, increasing attention is paid to the search for molecular genetic markers, a single identification of which before starting treatment will make possible to determining the risks of cardiotoxicity and change treatment taking into account individual genetic characteristics. At the same time, most research on the effect of allelic variants of genes on cardio-vascular complications relate to chemotherapy of solid tumors. The review considered possible prognostic genetic variants of cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy in patients with the hematopoietic and lymphatic malignancies.
