Doxorubicin-associated cardiotoxicity is a concern for patients with sarcoma. Female patients and patients with a higher ECOG performance status are at an increased risk of developing cardiotoxicity. Careful monitoring and risk assessment are crucial for mitigating the adverse effects of doxorubicin treatment in patients with sarcoma. Future studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore preventive strategies for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with sarcoma.
