“…Diameter of tumor ≥10 cm is considered as giant tumor in mediastinum of thoracic cavity as there is still no uniform opinion on clinical diagnostic standard for it (Kumar et al, 2012;Ong et al, 2012). Giant tumor in mediastinum of thoracic cavity often results in change of anatomical structures of the surrounding tissues and organs because of its adhesion with thoracic walls, pericardium and pulmonary tissues, etc., which multiply the difficulties for clinical treatment and surgeries on account of its tough exposure and dissociation (Ishibashi et al, 2012;Zencirci et al, 2012). Seven patients with giant tumor in mediastinum of thoracic cavity admitted in our hospital with damaged respiratory function, increased respiratory rates, slight retention of CO 2 and normal oxygenation after oxygen inhalation were given surgeries following preoperative preparations.…”

Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiotoxic Effects of Cancer Therapy

Patients with cancer can present with difficult management issues, as the medicine can sometimes cause sequelae destructive to healthy tissue. As this population lives longer, cardiotoxic effects are beginning to emerge, but the early recognition of this signal can prove difficult, with too late a recognition leading to lifelong cardiac impairment and dysfunction. Cardio-oncology can bridge this difficulty, and echocardiography and its newer imaging abilities are proving efficacious in this population. This article will address common sequelae of cardiotoxic treatment regimens and offer recommendations for echocardiographic surveillance. We recommend echocardiography, preferably three-dimensional and strain imaging, to monitor for cardiotoxic myocardial effects before, during, and after chemotherapy with cardiotoxic drug regimens, particularly anthracycline derivatives. A reduction in left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain in all patients, or reduction in LV global circumferential strain or global radial strain in patients at intermediate to high risk for cardiotoxicity, despite normal LV ejection fraction warrants a clinical assessment on the benefits of continuing cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. Lifelong surveillance using echocardiography for cardiotoxicity and radiation-related valvular, pericardial, and coronary artery disease is prudent.
