Background
There are limited data on the physical effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PC), and on the relationships of such measures of adiposity and strength to cardiovascular outcomes.
Objectives
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships of measures of adiposity and strength to cardiovascular outcomes (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, arterial revascularization, peripheral arterial disease, and venous thromboembolism) in patients with PC. A secondary objective was to characterize the relationships between ADT use and 12-month changes in these physical measures.
Methods
This international, prospective cohort study included 3,967 patients with PC diagnosed in the prior 12 months or being treated with ADT for the first time. Median follow-up duration was 2.3 years.
Results
Participants’ mean age was 68.5 years, and 1,731 (43.6%) were exposed to ADT. ADT was associated with a 1.6% increase in weight, a 2.2% increase in waist circumference, a 1.6% increase in hip circumference, a 0.1% increase in waist-to-hip ratio, a 27.4% reduction in handgrip strength, and a 0.1% decrease in gait speed. High waist circumference and low handgrip strength were associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Adjusting for age, education, race, tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity, cardiovascular disease, glomerular filtration rate, and ADT use, waist circumference above the highest quartile (110 cm) and handgrip strength below the lowest quartile (29.5 kg) were associated with higher likelihoods of a future cardiovascular event, with respective HRs of 1.40 (95% CI: 1.03-1.90; P = 0.029) and 1.59 (95% CI: 1.14-2.22; P = 0.006).
Conclusions
ADT was associated with increased adiposity and reduced strength over 12-month follow-up. High waist circumference and low baseline strength were associated with future adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Baseline cardiovascular assessment before the initiation of potentially cardiotoxic cancer therapies is a key component of cardio-oncology, aiming to reduce cardiovascular complications and morbidity in patients and survivors. Recent clinical practice guidelines provide both general and cancer therapy–specific recommendations for baseline cardiovascular toxicity risk assessment and management, including the use of dedicated risk scores, cardiovascular imaging, and biomarker testing. However, the value of such interventions in altering disease trajectories has not been established, with many recommendations based on expert opinion or Level of Evidence: C, studies with a potential for high risk of bias. Advances in understanding underlying mechanisms of cardiotoxicity and the increased availability of genetic and immunologic profiling present new opportunities for personalized risk assessment. This paper evaluates the existing evidence on cardiovascular care of cancer patients before cardiotoxic cancer therapy and highlights gaps in evidence and priorities for future research.

Background
The long-term prognosis after the discontinuation of cardioprotective therapy (CPT) in patients with cancer therapeutics–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) that has shown improvement remains unclear.
Objectives
This study aims to assess the prognosis after CPT withdrawal in patients exhibiting improved CTRCD.
Methods
In this retrospective analysis of a single-center prospective cohort study, patients with improved CTRCD, defined as an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥10 percentage points from the time of CTRCD diagnosis, were included. We analyzed their clinical outcomes, which included hospitalization for heart failure or a decrease in LVEF ≥10 percentage points within 2 years after CTRCD improvement, alongside echocardiographic changes.
Results
The cohort comprised 134 patients with improved CTRCD. The median follow-up duration after CTRCD diagnosis was 368.3 days (Q1-Q3: 160-536 days). After improvement, 90 patients continued CPT (continued group [CG]) and 44 withdrew CPT (withdrawn group [WG]). Among patients whose baseline LVEF at CTRCD diagnosis ranged from 45% to 55%, the final mean LVEF was comparable between both groups (CG: 64.9% ± 4.4% vs WG: 62.9% ± 4.2%; P = 0.059). However, for patients with a baseline LVEF <45%, the final mean LVEF was significantly lower in the WG (CG: 53.3% ± 6.4% vs WG: 48.2% ± 6.9%; P < 0.001). The occurrence of composite major clinical events was notably higher in the WG (HR: 3.06; 95% CI: 1.51-7.73; P = 0.002).
Conclusions
Patients who withdrew CPT after demonstrating improvement in CTRCD experienced worse clinical outcomes. Notably, a significant decrease in LVEF was observed after CPT withdrawal in patients with a baseline LVEF <45%.
