Abstract

Despite the recent advances in cancer handling, cytotoxic chemotherapy remains as the main approach for treating patients. These drugs are associated with a variety of acute and long-term side effects, including several levels of cardiac injury. Cardiotoxicity can be found in such patients as subclinical disease – where symptoms are not evidenced but changes can be observed in blood – or clinically symptomatic. The basis of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is multifactorial, but most of drugs present the same mechanism of damage: the generation of free radicals and redox homeostasis imbalance. In addition, several monoclonal antibodies employed in the personalized medicine against cancer have shown degrees of cardiotoxicity in patients. In this contect, this chapter discusses the main drugs capable to generate oxidative stress during cancer treatment, and highlight the main mechanisms mediated by redox mediators that are involved in cardiac damage.
