Propranolol for heart protection after breast cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving the heart medication propranolol before breast cancer surgery can help reduce heart damage after the operation. If you have high blood pressure or angina and are having breast cancer surgery, this may help protect your heart.

This study tests whether careful blood pressure management can help protect the heart during certain types of chemotherapy (anthracyclines) for breast cancer. Participants will use a smart blood pressure device and may also do an exercise test.
This study tests whether a combination of heart-protective medications (a blood thinner, a cholesterol medicine, and a blood pressure medicine) can help people who had a heart injury after non-cardiac surgery reduce their risk of future heart problems. It is a pilot study to see if this approach is practical and safe.
This study tracks heart health before and after major surgery for prostate or kidney cancer in older adults. Researchers want to predict which patients might experience heart problems after surgery so they can provide better care.
This trial tests if taking a medicine called propranolol around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or colon cancer that can be removed with an operation. Propranolol is a type of drug that blocks certain stress signals in the body and may help with recovery.
This trial tests if taking propranolol (a blood pressure medication) before surgery helps treat pancreatic cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well.
