The problems of antithrombotic and first of all, anticoagulant therapy in patients with concomitant oncological and cardiovascular pathology, especially in gerontological practice, remain to be unsolved. The need to use anticoagulants is dictated by a high risk of thromboembolism in cancer patients combined with age-associated atrial fibrillation. The risk of hemorrhage increases with the age; moreover, there is a risk of dangerous drug interactions due to the need of polymorbid pathology treatment. Thus, the clinical situation sometimes creates difficulties in choosing a proper tactic in patient management and following the existing treatment standards. A clinical case of a patient of an elder age with the recurrence of lung cancer, which has an established high-risk of thromboembolism, and with paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation and new oral anticoagulants treatment, is considered.

The progress in improving the survival of cancer patients in Russia, as well as throughout the world, means that in the next years it is going to be an increase in the number of disabled people who has achieved remission, or who faces the consequences of high-dose polychemotherapy and/or radiotherapy between courses of cancer treatment. Until recently, the two main socially significant medical problems in Russia, cancer and cardiac, have been rarely united into one. Publications on this topic appeared only in specialized cancer journals and were unknown by a wide range of cardiologists and internists, therefore the involvement of these specialists in the study of theoretical and practical aspects of the management of patients with malignant tumors was limited. Creation of the International Society of Cardioncology (ICOS) contributed to the development of an interest in this interdisciplinary field of modern medicine. However, even today cardiac problems of cancer patients in Russia mostly are limited to the cardiotoxicity studying, but, according to the position of the authors a great attention should be paid to the systemic reactions, including cardiovascular reactions of the organism to the tumor, as well as to the therapeutic issues and cardiac rehabilitation of cancer patients.

Types of oncological rehabilitation and its objectives are described. It includes information on many manifestations of oncological diseases that an internist has to deal with, which are conditioned not only by the oncological process itself, but by the cancer treatment conducted, as well as the attitude of doctors and patients to cancer pathology. The specific characteristics of the “cancer disease” are described, as well as a combination of somatic disorders which depends on the ongoing or arrested tumor development. It is necessary for doctors to observe the cancer patients before, during and after treatment for complication of cancer or treatment over the life span.

One of the quite frequent long-term effects of radiation therapy of malignant tumors, such as breast cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma primarily, when the irradiation of the mediastinum is performed, is the development of radiation-induced valvular disease. It is noted that the clinical manifestation of valve dysfunction can typically arise approximately 5 years after a course of anticancer radiotherapy. Thereafter in these patients increases the risk of infective endocarditis. However, in therapeutic and oncological clinical practice the difficulty of identifying and making the differential diagnosis of endocarditis in patients with “cancer” history is still quite common. At the moment cases of infective endocarditis after polychemotherapy and radiation therapy are not widely covered for cardiologists and internists in the medical literature. In addition before starting specific treatment due to the possible threat of infectious complications, including endocarditis, in oncology guidelines it is recommended to patients to make a thorough oral cavity sanitation, while the internists are little aware of this need, both at the stage of antitumor therapy and at late period. Today, with the increasing number of patients who are healed or achieved long-term remission after the anticancer treatment, including elderly people, it is necessary to raise the awareness among internists about occurrence options of comorbid disease in these group.
