N = 28 patients were admitted to hospital for a major cardiovascular-related event. Higher total treatment dose (p < 0.05), concomitant hypertension (p = 0.005), diabetes (p = 0.04), atrial fibrillation (p = 0.03), and lack of use of statin therapy (p = 0.03) were key contributors to hospital admission. Conclusions: Results of our study highlight the fact that patients with concomitant baseline cardiovascular disease/risk factors are at an increased risk of cardiovascular hospitalization related to bevacizumab treatment. Careful baseline cardiovascular assessment may be an essential step to minimize cardiovascular complications.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 13:22:56 AEDT ]]> Prognostic biomarkers in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38007 Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:12:43 AEST ]]> Heart Failure in Breast Cancer Survivors: Focus on Early Detection and Novel Biomarkers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48913 Fri 14 Apr 2023 18:21:40 AEST ]]>
