In a nutshell This study investigated the impact of liposomal doxorubicin (Adriamycin) on cardiac side effects in lymphoma patients compared to conventional doxorubicin. The study suggested that liposomal doxorubicin can reduce cardiac effects and still be an effective therapy, particularly for patients at high risk for anthracycline-induced...
Read MoreRisk of heart failure in survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma treated with anthracyclines and/or chest radiation
In a nutshell The authors looked at the relationship between heart failure and different treatments for Hodgkin Lymphoma. This study concluded that the risk of heart failure increased with increasing radiation doses and the use of chemotherapy containing anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin). Some background Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has high 10-year...
