摘要

Background

Anthracyclines are essential in early breast cancer chemotherapy but pose long-term cardiotoxicity risks.

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the long-term incidence of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), bridging with the miRNAs profiler representing acute cardiac injury.

Methods

We conducted a prospective cohort including stage I-III breast cancer patients who received anthracycline between 2007 and 2012. Echocardiography was performed before and 12 weeks after anthracycline administration. The miRNAs profiler was conducted by NanoString and RT-PCR. Long-term cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was evaluated in 24.2% of asymptomatic participants.

Results

At a median follow-up of 11 [IQR 6–12] years, 194 patients who completed follow-up echocardiography after anthracycline were included in the analysis. The median age at diagnosis was 50 [26–72] years. An early LVEF decline of  10% was found in 32.9% of participants. The cumulative equivalent dose of doxorubicin was 223.2 ± 21.6 mg/m2. At the time of censoring, sixty-four participants (32.9%) died, 70% from breast cancer. Nine participants (4.6%) reported cardiovascular events compatible with the CTRCD definition. Forty-seven participants (24.2%) underwent long-term cardiac evaluation. The miRNAs profiler and RT-PCR at different time points, 3 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively, revealed significantly diverse expressions of miR-1-3p and miR-16-5p in participants with and without an early LVEF decline of ≥ 10%. Despite cardiac injury demonstrated by dynamic miR-1-3p and miR-16-5p, CMR parameters revealed no significant differences.

Conclusions

Our study demonstrates a very low incidence of long-term symptomatic CTRCD. The diverse expression patterns of miR-16-5p and miR-1-3p at different time points also provide valuable biological insights. Within-normal results of an exact and comprehensive CMR, in asymptomatic and any LVEF change participants, indicate the long-term safety of limited-dose anthracycline-containing use.
