Breast cancer chemotherapy vascular toxicity: a review of mediating mechanisms and exercise as a potential therapeutic

Breast cancer chemotherapy, although very potent against tumour tissue, results in significant cardiovascular toxicity. The focus of research in this area has been predominantly towards cardiotoxicity. There is limited evidence detailing the impact of such treatment on the vasculature despite its ce...

The potential role of exercise in protecting against vascular toxicity is explained, highlighting the recent in-human and animal model exercise interventions.
