Learning Objectives After completing this course, the reader will be able to: Interpret modern techniques to detect early instrumental and biochemical signs of epirubicin‐induced myocardial dysfunction. Evaluate the correlation between instrumental signs and biochemical/biological variables with the aim of defining more exhaustively the clinical effects of drugs. Discuss the effectiveness and safety of an important antineoplastic drug such as epirubicin.Access and take the CME test online and receive 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit ™ at CME.TheOncologist.com
