Although the link between some chemotherapy agents and cardiac damage is well-known, new research suggests that some cancers on their own may contribute to cardiac dysfunction. A study of more than 500 cancer patients, none of whom had undergone prior cardiotoxic cancer therapy, showed that levels of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) and five cardiovascular neurohormones were elevated at baseline and increased as tumor stage progressed. Coinvestigator Dr Martin Hülsmann (Medical University of Vienna) told from Medscape the most important finding for him was that the neurohormones were so predictive even after extensive adjustment. However, "I currently have no recommendations for clinicians because I think we have found more questions than answers," said Hülsmann.
