Abstract:
Cognitive decline is increasingly recognized as a side effect of chemotherapy. However, cognitive decline doesn't occur in all patients receiving chemotherapy, and there is variability in the cognitive domains affected (Ahles; JCO,Oct 20, 2012:3675-3686). Safety pharmacogenomics, i.e. using genetic variations to predict response/toxicity, offers an exciting approach to identify the subset of patients most likely to suffer from cognitive decline post chemotherapy. Consequently specific therapeutic interventions can be developed to target this group of patients, and/or alternate chemotherapeutic

Abstract:
The use of anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOX) has improved mortality and morbidity in cancer patients, yet associated risks of cardiomyopathy have limited their clinical application. DOX-associated cardiotoxicity typically progresses to heart failure (HF). The knowledge of the mechanisms underlying DOX-related cardiac dysfunction is currently limited, hampering the development of cardioprotective strategies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene expression regulators that play potent roles in both cardiovascular disease and cancer. We wished to investigate DOX-induced changes in cardiac miRNA expr

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: Doxorubicin (DOX), infamously known as the “red devil,” is considered the most effective antineoplastic drug utilized in oncologic practice today. However, its clinical use is hampered due to cumulative, dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which can lead to reduced quality of life, irreversible heart failure and death. The mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of cardiotoxicity have not been fully elucidated, but have previously been demonstrated to involve oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation and mitochondria

Abstract:
Neuropathic pain is a common and dose-limiting adverse effect of several cancer chemotherapeutic agents including paclitaxel. Current treatments for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) are largely ineffective and the pain can persist long after the cessation of the chemotherapy regimen. Whilst the specific underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage are thought to be involved in the development of CIPN. Antioxidants which protect mitochondria may inhibit oxidative stress and protect mitochondrial function more effectively than antioxi
