Study Overview

Brief Summary

the study aims to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of atorvastatin in breast cancer female patients treated with doxorubicin based chemotherapy

Detailed Description

female patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, who are candidates for AC protocol will be recruited from Damanhour oncology center.

All enrolled patients will be randomly assigned into 2 arms:

  • Control arm : will receive AC regimen only (doxorubicin 60 mg/m² IV + cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m² IV) for 4 cycles every 21 days.
  • Atorvastatin arm : will receive AC regimen mentioned above + atorvastatin 40 mg orally once daily for 3 months.

All patients will be submitted to:

  • Full patient history and clinical examination.
  • Routine follow up before and after each chemotherapy cycle (complete blood picture, liver function tests, renal function tests).
  • Echocardiography also will be obtained at the time of admission.
  • Serum samples will be collected from patients at the time of admission for measuring the cardiac biomarkers in addition to serum cholesterol level.
