Abstract

- Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic colon cancer and metastatic breast cancer. It is metabolized into fluorouracil (5-FU) in the liver; hence, its mechanism of action is similar to that of 5-FU. Cardiac toxicity, although rarely seen, may be of concern in some patients. Although multiple hypotheses have been proposed for the mechanism of cardiotoxicity, coronary vasospasm is the most commonly accepted one, as patients usually present with chest pain resembling acute myocardial infarction. Electrocardiography may demonstrate ST-segment elevation, and cardiac biomarkers may be elevated. Cardiotoxicity with 5-FU has been reported widely. Capecitabine has been shown to be much less cardiotoxic compared to 5-FU, with only a handful of cases reporting cardiotoxicity with capecitabine. There are no cases reporting cardiotoxicity with both 5-FU and capecitabine in the same patient. In this case report, we present a patient with adverse cardiac effect with capecitabine whose previous 5-FU therapy was stopped due to cardiotoxicity

Özet

- Kapesitabin, metastatik kolon ve meme kanseri te- davisinde kullanılan kemoterapötik bir ajandır. Karaciğerde florourasile metabolize olur, dolayısıyla da etki mekaniz- ması florourasile benzemektedir. Nadir görülse de kardiyak toksisite bazı hastalarda önemli bir sorun olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kardiyotoksisite mekanizması ile ilgili çeşitli hipotezler öne sürülmekle birlikte koroner vazospazmı en önde gelen mekanizmalardan biridir ve böylesi hastalar akut miyokart enfarktüsüne benzer göğüs ağrısı ile gelebi- lirler. Elektrokardiyografide ST segment yükselmesi ve kar- diyak belirteçlerde yükselme görülebilir. Florourasil ile kardi- yotoksisite sık görülmektedir. Kapesitabinle kardiyotoksisite ise florourasile göre daha az görülmektedir. Aynı hastada hem florourasil hem de kapesitabinle kardiyotoksisite ge- lişimi bildirilmemiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda, daha önceden kardiyotoksisite gelişmesi nedeniyle florourasil tedavisi dur- durulan bir hastada kapesitabinin olumsuz kardiyak etkileri sunulacaktır
