Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objectives of this study are to investigate the relation between the change in hs-TNT values and cardiac function after Ctx. 1. hs-TNT kinetics during Ctx and relation to cardiac function (% LVEF). (delta change within one Ctx cycle, delta change between Ctx cycles, delta change baseline and final hs-TNT value) 2. Detection and prediction of cardiotoxicity (definition: an asymptomatic reduction >10% of the LVEF reaching ,5% of the LVEF reaching | — |
