Possibility for Application of 99mTc-Methoxyisobutylisonitrile in Assessing the Efficiency of Chemotherapy Cardiotoxicity Prevention
Abstract:
The main focus of the paper is to estimate the possibility of trimethylhydrasine propionate application to prevent an acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients. The study included women with breast cancer. Main group were injected intravenously trimethylhydrasine propionate prior to chemotherapy. For the cancer treatment of these patients doxorubicin was used. All patients were examined by GATE SPECT before starting chemotherapy and 1 hour after the first administration of doxorubicin. After doxorubicin administration in the control group there was a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and an increase in left ventricular end-systolic volume. After administration of doxorubicin 40% of patients had a significant reduction in LVEF. Prophylactic use of trimethylhydrasine propionate allows reducing acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity incidences by 22.5%.
