Smart Home Care of Cloud Base ECG on the Cardiotoxicity Prevention on the Cancer Patients.

Summary

Thoracic malignancy is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.1,2 The incidence of thoracic malignancy has decreased in North America, but not in Asia, where it continues to show an increasing trend. A notable manifestation of the bimodal age distribution of thoracic malignancy has been observed in women. The occurrence of early-onset thoracic malignancy in the Asian population is earlier than that in the Western population, resulting in a higher incidence of thoracic malignancy in young Asian women. Moreover, the late onset age distribution of patients with thoracic malignancy in Asia (40-50 years) is earlier than that in Western countries (60-70 years), peaking at the age of 45-50 years in most women. The age-specific incidence rates of thoracic malignancy increase sharply until the menopausal stage.

Cardiovascular morbidity is higher among women with thoracic malignancy involving the thorax who had received radiotherapy (RT) compared with those not involving the thorax but receiving the same treatment. Thus far, the risks and time to onset of cardiac complications have been unclear in both young and old women. The proportion of young women with thoracic malignancy is higher in Asia than in Western countries. Furthermore, whether Asian women with thoracic malignancy are susceptible to RT remains unclear.

Anthracyclines are important therapeutic agents for breast cancer. Anthracycline-based regimens have similar or improved outcomes relative to the standard treatment regimen of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil. However, cardiotoxicity is a long-term toxicity associated with these regimens. The combined use of adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy (CT) and RT may result in high cardiotoxicity. Nonetheless, no clear information on the effects of this combined therapy on the time to onset of both cardiac complications and cardiotoxicity is available. Furthermore, whether the cardiotoxicity of adjuvant RT and anthracycline-based CT is associated with age and ethnicity in women with thoracic malignancy remains unclear.

Therefore, cardiovascular disease is undoubtedly one of the most challenging health problems in the world. More efforts are needed to prevent and better control of this disease. Our proposed monitoring program is to use AI to monitor the basal value variation of personalized cardiovascular disease in cancer patients before and after chemoradiation. In the first year, our team focused on cardiotoxicity associated with cardiovascular disease models and cancer treatments. In the second year, we will apply knowledge in a clinical setting and calculate the severity of cardiac toxicity and its incidence and time response after cancer treatment. In the third year, high-risk groups will be identified to provide preventive intervention to reduce the risk of cancer-treatment related cardiotoxicity.
