Toxicity complicates the administration of anthracycline chemotherapy agents in treating cancer in high-risk patients in a dose-dependent manner. Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity stands as a serious complication, often manifesting as severe, irreversible cardiac failure, posing life-threatening risks. Effective evaluation protocols before, during, and after anthracycline administration are crucial in early detection, prevention, and timely intervention against this disorder.This activity reviews assessment strategies, including advanced cardiac monitoring and imaging techniques, to enable early identification of cardiac issues associated with anthracycline treatment and explores preventive management and treatment modalities critical in mitigating the impact of cardiotoxicity on patients’ health outcomes. The activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional, multidisciplinary team in caring for patients susceptible to or affected by anthracycline toxicity while emphasizing timely intervention and comprehensive evidence-based management strategies to improve clinical outcomes.
