Several new therapeutic options are opening up for the treatment of haematological and solid malignancies. Although the effects on the malignancies can be dramatic, the collateral damage can be devastating as well. The concept of gene therapy was to develop cell-type-specific techniques, and similar expectations were raised with the concept of targeting cells specifically by binding selected receptors or other proteins. Yet, most therapies that have reached the clinic are not specific and will therefore influence all tissues and organs. This will make the heart a vulnerable organ, as it has limited or no regenerative capacity.
