Özet

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the cardiac functions using conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging in childhood cancers treated with anthracyclines. Methods: The study group was selected from the patients admitted to the pediatric oncology department for a treatment protocol that included doxorubicin. Body surface area was calculated and complete 2-dimensional, M-mode, pulse wave Doppler and pulse wave tissue Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed just before the first treatment and at least 6 months after the last treatment. Results: This study included 20 patients (12 males and 8 females). Mean cumulative antracycline dose was 189 +/- 102.90 mg/m
