This Galician consensus statement is a joint oncologists/cardiologists initiative indented to establish basic recommendations on how to prevent and to manage the cardiotoxicity in breast cancer with the aim of ensuring an optimal cardiovascular care of these patients. A clinical screening of the patients before treatment is recommended to stratify them into a determined risk group based on their intrinsic cardiovascular risk factors and those extrinsic arose from breast cancer therapy, thereby providing individualized preventive and monitoring measures. Suitable initial and ongoing assessments for patients with low and moderate/high risk and planned treatment with anthracyclines and trastuzumab are given; also, measures aimed at preventing and correcting any modifiable risk factor are pointed out .

Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a recently identified calcium-activated chloride channel, has been found to have a critical role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression in several types of cancer. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains to be elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the utility of ANO1 as a prognostic marker. ⋯ ANO1 overexpression associated with the high expression of EGFR can be a predictive marker of recurrence after surgery in NSCLC patients.
