Where this comes from

Abstract

Cancer treatments in general share various detrimental effects in common, especially upregulation of cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, the science of onco-cardiology should not be restricted in scope to the side effects of each specific cancer drug. In particular, premature aging induced by cancer treatment may contribute to the chronic health problems of cancer survivors.
