Cardiotoxicity and early death rate of CAG
The toxicity of CAG in all reports was generally mild. Cardiotoxicity data were
reported in 33 studies with 953 patients, and ED was reported ...
Remarkably, the CR rate of CAG was significantly higher than those of non-CAG
regimens (odds ratio 2.43). CAG regimen was well tolerated, with cardiotoxicity in
