To the Editor

I appreciate the thorough review by Morales Yera et al on chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC). At present, vascular and tumor diseases are the leading cause of death in our country; hence, the subset of patients with both diseases is not trivial.
Prevention of unnecessary damages has always been the first strategy of our Health System. The author accurately puts forward that cardiotoxicity damage may appear up to years after chemotherapy is administered. Therefore, risk stratification of CIC is regarded as essential in the follow-up and establishment of prophylactic measures.
