Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide a comprehensive review of hypertension among patients with cancer. Several cancer therapies cause hypertension which has resulted in a growing and vulnerable population of patients with difficult to control hypertension which has significant downstream effects. RECENT FINDINGS Hypertension affects up to 50% of cancer patients and higher comorbidity when compared to the general population. Many anticancer therapies can cause hypertension through their treatment effect. Antihypertensive treatment is crucial given cardiovascular mortality is a leading cause of death among cancer patients. It is already known that hypertension is poorly controlled in the general population, and there are additional challenges in management among patients with cancer. Patients with cancer suffer from multimorbidity, are on multiple medications creating concern for drug interactions, and often have blood pressure lability, which can worsen clinical inertia among patients and their providers. It is crucial to effectively treat hypertension in cancer patients to mitigate downstream adverse cardiovascular events. SUMMARY In recent years, there have been significant changes in management guidelines of hypertension and simultaneously as influx of new cancer therapeutics. We provide an update on hypertension treatment among patients with cancer on different chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The survival rates of many cancers have significantly improved due to recent advancements in cancer screening and therapeutics. Although better cancer outcomes are encouraging, additional health challenges have surfaced, the utmost of which is the burden imposed by various cardiovascular and renal toxicities of anticancer therapies. To improve the overall outcome of patients with cancer, it is essential to understand and manage these treatment-related adverse effects. The cardiovascular side effects of antineoplastic therapies are well-known and include left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, myocardial ischaemia, QT prolongation, arrhythmia and hypertension. Among these, hypertension is the most common complication, prevalent in about 40% of all cancer patients, yet frequently overlooked and undertreated. This review explores the intricate connection between cancer and hypertension and provides distinct approaches to diagnosing, monitoring and managing hypertension in patients with cancer. We also outline the challenges and considerations that are relevant to the care of patients receiving anticancer drugs with prohypertensive potential.

Abstract
The (pro)renin receptor ((P)RR) is not only a member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) but also exerts several RAS-independent functions due to its multiple signal transductions pathways. In this mini-review, we shortly discuss the molecular functions of this receptor and its pathophysiological significance with a focus on cardiorenal diseases. Finally, we provide a short summary regarding a drug discovery and drug development program on small molecule-based renin/ prorenin receptor blockers (RERBs).

Abstract
Nephroprotection is a set of recommendations that aim to prevent the risks of acute and/or chronic renal failure and to limit the progression of renal failure towards an end stage. Nephroprotection is not limited to nephrology and applies to all patients at risk of renal failure. Cancer patients are particularly at risk of developing intrinsic and extrinsic renal failure, as well as the toxicity of specific treatments. However, they are poorly included in nephroprotection studies. Thus, current guidelines have not been adapted to these pathologies and oncology-specific comorbidities, such as malnutrition or prognosis, are often not taken into account. In this article, we review the established recommendations by transposing them to the cancer patient as a whole. In addition to the reminder of hygiene and dietary rules to control blood pressure and diabetes, we discuss the importance of therapeutic education, iatrogeny and treatment options to control renal failure in this context. The lack of clearly established data in cancer confirms the needs to strengthen links between oncologists, hematologists and nephrologists and reinforces the emergence of onco-nephrology as a new discipline.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT With improvements in treatment and survival from prostate cancer, comorbid cardiac conditions will significantly impact overall morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer. Hypertension is a well-established cardiovascular risk factor that increases the risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Therapies used in the treatment of prostate cancer, including GnRH agonists, GnRH antagonists, enzalutamide, abiraterone, and others, can directly or indirectly increase the risk of hypertension. In this paper, we review the evidence available on the incidence and mechanism of hypertension in prostate cancer patients. In addition, we provide recommendations on the assessment, treatment, and future directions for hypertension management in the prostate cancer population. We propose an individualized goal for blood pressure in prostate cancer patients, balancing the target goal of 130/80 mmHg with common comorbidities of frailty, orthostatic symptoms, and imbalance in this population. The presence of additional comorbidities (myocardial infarction, heart failure, renal disease, diabetes) can assist in preference of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Abstract
Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) represent a complex interaction of endothelial and podocyte biology, nephron physiology, complement genetics, and oncologic therapies with host immunology. The complexity of various factors, such as molecular causes, genetic expressions, and immune system mimicking, along with incomplete penetrance, make it difficult to find a straightforward solution. As a result, there may be variations in diagnosis, study, and treatment approaches, and achieving a consensus can be challenging. Here, we review the molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology, molecular genetics, and pathology of the various TMA syndromes in the setting of cancer. Controversies in etiology, nomenclature, and points requiring further clinical, translational, and bench research are discussed. Complement-mediated TMAs, chemotherapy drug-mediated TMAs, TMAs in monoclonal gammopathy, and other TMAs central to onconephrology practice are reviewed in detail. In addition, established and emerging therapies within the US Food and Drug Administration pipeline subsequently are discussed. Finally, a comprehensive review of critical areas of onconephrology clinical practice is presented as practical value to the clinical practitioner and seeds of investigation to be sown among the community of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome researchers.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and cancer are 2 of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although improvements in outcomes have been noted for both disease entities, the success of cancer therapies has come at the cost of at times very impactful adverse events such as cardiovascular events. Hypertension has been noted as both, a side effect as well as a risk factor for the cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies. Some of these dynamics are in keeping with the role of hypertension as a cardiovascular risk factor not only for heart failure, but also for the development of coronary and cerebrovascular disease, and kidney disease and its association with a higher morbidity and mortality overall. Other aspects such as the molecular mechanisms underlying the amplification of acute and long-term cardiotoxicity risk of anthracyclines and increase in blood pressure with various cancer therapeutics remain to be elucidated. In this review, we cover the latest clinical data regarding the risk of hypertension across a spectrum of novel anticancer therapies as well as the underlying known or postulated pathophysiological mechanisms. Furthermore, we review the acute and long-term implications for the amplification of the development of cardiotoxicity with drugs not commonly associated with hypertension such as anthracyclines. An outline of management strategies, including pharmacological and lifestyle interventions as well as models of care aimed to facilitate early detection and more timely management of hypertension in patients with cancer and survivors concludes this review, which overall aims to improve both cardiovascular and cancer-specific outcomes.

Abstract
The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors' suggested management approaches. The goal of this series is to help readers better understand how to apply the results of key studies, including those published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, to patients seen in their own clinical practice.Hypertension (HTN) in patients with cancer remains an underestimated yet complex clinical conundrum to merit its own marker of Onco-Hypertension. A myriad of antineoplastic drugs from vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor antibodies such as bevacizumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), cisplatin, and carfilzomib cause new or worsening HTN, and HTN is also a risk factor for certain cancers such as renal cell carcinoma. Untreated HTN before and during cancer treatment potentially increases the short-term and long-term risk of cardiotoxicity, such as heart failure, and affects both cancer and cardiovascular mortality. However, efficient and early management of HTN in patients with cancer is often challenging because of multiple drug interactions, noncompliance, and intolerance of medications because of the side effects of cancer treatments, labile nature of HTN, use of non-neoplastic drugs such as steroids and erythropoietin, and pharmacogenetic interactions between cancer treatment and HTN-related genes. The Oncology Grand Rounds aim to examine the bidirectional association and challenges of managing HTN in patients with cancer and the necessity for precision medicine to manage it.

Abstract
Onconephrology is an upcoming and expanding subspecialty that deals with the intersections between hematology/oncology and nephrology. With the paradigm shift in the understanding of cancer immunobiology and mechanisms of oncotherapeutic drug toxicities, it is important for a nephrologist to have a sound understanding of this field. Over the last 5 years, there have been immense developments in our understanding of kidney-related adverse events from various targeted, immuno- and cellular-based therapies. Pathogenic mechanisms of electrolyte imbalance, hypertension (oncohypertension), and AKI from multiple forms of cancer therapies have been explored. Significant research has also been conducted in the field of transplant onconephrology. In this review, we have tried to assimilate the most recent updates in the last 2 years in this ever-growing and fascinating field.
