1 Cardiac function in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with history of breast cancer treated with anthracyclines. Anthracyclines BRCA1 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens
2 Women with BRCA1/2 mutations who develop breast cancer (BC) may receive anthracyclines but their risk of cardiac dysfunction has not been investigated. Anthracyclines BRCA1 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens
3 Our study tested the hypothesis that women with history of BRCA1/2 mutation-associated BC treated with anthracyclines have impaired parameters of cardiac function compared to similarly treated women with history of sporadic BC. Anthracyclines BRCA1 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens
4 Mean age was 50 +- 9 years in both groups (P = 0.99) but BRCA1/2 mutation carriers had longer anthracycline treatment-to-enrollment time (7.5 +- 5.3 vs. 4.2 +- 3.3 years, P = 0.001). Anthracyclines BRCA1 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens
5 In contrast to laboratory animal data, our findings indicate lack of elevated cardiac risk with the use of standard-doses of adjuvant anthracyclines in treatment of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers with early stage BC. Anthracyclines BRCA1 DNA repair associated Homo sapiens
