Abstract
Opinion statement: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a crucial regulator of the cardiovascular system and a target for widely used therapeutic drugs. Dysregulation of RAAS, implicated in prevalent diseases like hypertension and heart failure, has recently gained attention in oncological contexts due to its role in tumor biology and cardiovascular toxicities (CVTs). Thus, RAAS inhibitors (RAASi) may be used as potential supplementary therapies in cancer treatment and CVT prevention. Oncological treatments have evolved significantly, impacting patient survival and safety profiles. However, they pose cardiovascular risks, necessitating strategies for mitigating adverse effects. The main drug classes used in oncology include anthracyclines, anti-HER2 therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway inhibitors (VSPI). While effective against cancer, these drugs induce varying CVTs. RAASi adjunctive therapy shows promise in enhancing clinical outcomes and protecting the cardiovascular system. Understanding RAAS involvement in cancer and CVT can inform personalized treatment approaches and improve patient care.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published treatment option advances in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to facilitate worldwide approaches to cancer treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as endocrine tumors, lymphomas, neuro-oncology, and cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary region. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known oncologists, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
