Abstract:Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cytotoxic antineoplastic agent of the anthracycline family. It has been used as the first-line chemotherapy drug for treating various types of cancer, such as breast, lung and bladder cancer, and lymphoblastic leukemia. 1 As any anthracycline, DOX is an effective chemotherapeutic drug. However, it holds a potentially lethal dose-dependent cardiovascular toxicity, which can manifest immediately or many years after chemotherapy, limiting its clinical application. 2
