ABSTRACT

Resumen Los grandes avances terapéuticos de las últimas décadas han prolongado la sobrevida de muchos pacientes con cáncer. Sin embargo, esta mejoría se ha logrado a expensas de un aumento en las complicaciones cardiovasculares secundarias a la quimioterapia y a la radioterapia. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con cáncer esofágico que manifiesta angina inestable como complicación de su enfermedad coronaria multivaso tras iniciar la quimioterapia (capecitabina/oxaliplatino/epirubicina), se discuten los posibles mecanismos que subyacen al evento y se subraya la necesidad de individualizar la estratificación de riesgo previa a la quimioterapia.


Abstract The great therapeutic advances of the last decades have prolonged the survival of many cancer patients. However, these advances have been made at the expense of an increase in cardiovascular complications secondary to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. It is presented a patient with oesophageal cancer who manifests unstable angina as a complication of multivessel coronary artery disease after starting chemotherapy with capecitabine/oxaliplatin/epirubicin, discussing the possible mechanisms underlying the event and emphasizing the need to personalize the risk stratification before chemotherapy.
