ABSTRACT

Cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity has been presenting a major problem in cancer survivors, who constitute a growing population caused by a significant improvement in cancer therapy during the past decades. Although some listing criteria have been defined for these patients, it is still a compelling decision to list patients with a complex cancer anamnesis. We describe herein a childhood cancer survivor after a cancer anamnesis with 2 different malignancies and an end-stage heart failure following chemoradiotherapy who was successfully treated with orthotopic heart transplant.
