Kardiotoxizität des 5-Fluorouracil - Klinische Relevanz bei palliativer Radiochemotherapie von malignen Kopf-Hals-Tumoren -

Abstract

Since most patients with head and neck cancer have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, 5-fluorouracil-associated cardiotoxicity should not be underestimated and patients should be monitored carefully.

Monitoring of whole-body hyperthermia with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)

“…Furthermore, some chemotherapeutic agents are cardiotoxic and WBH can have adverse effects on the cardiopulmonary system [3][4][5][6]. Therefore, intensive monitoring during this procedure is required in order to detect and treat hemodynamic complications as soon as possible.…”
