Abstract
Aministration of anti-cancer treatment is accompanied by many serious side effects, with cardiac toxicity as one of the most dangerous. The most commonly used method to identify patients with heart damage is echocardiography with clinical examination.
Cardiotoxicity of anti-cancer treatment is a very serious side effect, which may affect survival more than the malignancy itself. This review focuses on cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatment in ovarian cancer patients.
