Abstract
While anthracyclines are a class of chemotherapeutic agents that have improved the treatment of a broad spectrum of malignancies, it is one of the most cardiotoxic agents used to treat the tumor. Despite their dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, anthracyclines-based chemotherapy has become the main stay of tumor therapy due to its efficacy. Meanwhile, Statins, widely used in the clinical setting to reduce serum cholesterol levels and to reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality, have pleiotropic biological effects independent of their lipid-lowering effects. Many studies at home and abroad believe that statins can prevent the cardiotoxicity caused by anthracyclines and propose that statins can play beneficial pleiotropic cardiovascular effects through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms, thus playing a cardioprotective effect. Illuminating the mechanisms of Anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity and Statins associated therapeutic continue to be the main focus in the field of anti-tumor. Therefore, we summarized the current research surrounding the mechanisms of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity and the protective effect of statins on anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity and its possible mechanism.
