Abstract

Anthracyclines are effectively used in many therapeutic regimens for breast cancer (BC). However, the dose-dependent cardiotoxic effect causes certain limitations on their use. Laboratory tests for risk prediction and early diagnosis of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACIC) based on measuring the activity and concentration of topoisomerase 2β, the levels of troponins T and I (TnT и TnI), N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide progenitor, remain relevant, but complicate the risk stratification with low specificity. Recently, the number of works devoted to the study of new biomarkers ACIC has been growing: galectin-3, soluble ST-2 (sST-2), and myeloperoxidase (MPO). In this review we analyzed current understanding of the classical markers ACIC and the results of recent studies dedicated to new predictors.
