The cardiac safety during treatment with sunitinib and sorafenib, multikinase angiogenesis inhibitors
Journal Title: OncoReview - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cardiotoxicity of multikinase angiogenesis inhibitors, sunitinib and sorafenib, is most often myocardial systolic dysfunction or arterial and venous thromboembolic events. Essential risk factor seems to be iatrogenic arterial hypertension, which is a typical (“class effect”) vascular complication and a predictive factor of the anticancer efficiency. A biochemical and molecular aspect is associated with cardiomyocytes damage and endothelial dysfunction. Specific primary cardioprotective options are still unknown. It was shown the real risk of cardiotoxicity of multikinase angiogenesis inhibitors, sunitinib and sorafenib, in relation to the risk of cardiotoxicity of bevacizumab, the monoclonal antibody anti-VEGF.
