Abstract

Anthracycline chemotherapy causes cardiotoxicity, and the evidence regarding the benefit of concomitant statin use in reducing it remains uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies using statins and anthracyclines by searching PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception until April 10, 2023. Our analysis included 3 observational studies and 4 RCTs, including the STOP-CA trial released in ACC23. Statin prescription significantly reduced cardiotoxicity in cancer patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy (OR 0.46, 95% CI: 0.33-0.63; I2: 0%). However, no significant difference was observed in the decline of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline (MD 4.15, 95% CI: -0.69 to 8.99, I2: 97%). These findings demonstrate the protective effect of concomitant statin prescription.
