Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 10 years after treatment.;Secondary end point(s): 1. Time-to-development of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity 2. Severity of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity, over time. 3. Identification of patients with clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity up to 10 years after treatment as assessed by: Serum concentrations of study specific biomarkers (See Appendix C) Tissue Doppler and strain echocardiographic variables (See chapter 1.4.3) Electrocardiographic variables (See Appendix C) 4. Patient Reported Outcome endpoints including health related questionnaires (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure, Patient Health Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, and cancer specific questionnaires from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer)

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the cumulative incidence of cardiotoxic events in female breast cancer patients within and between two groups: Standard oncological follow-up and care vs. Standard oncological follow-up and care + subclinical cardiotoxicity surveillance and treatment, before start of chemotherapy, during treatment and at 1, 5, and 10 years after the completion of chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: • To assess the association between standard cardiac risk factors, biomarkers and parameters of echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, (predictors) and subsequent occurrence of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity (outcome) within and between-groups, over time • To determine how a diagnosis of breast cancer and the development of cardiotoxicity influences women’s quality of life.;Primary end point(s): Frequency of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity as assessed by Echocardography or ECG, over time. Clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity will be defined by cardiologist at routine practice using the current guidelines and protocol.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after treatment.
