Core Tip	The accurate identification and monitoring of chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity demand inclusive patient selection and robust diagnostic strategies. Our study demonstrates that real-world cohorts often reflect local epidemiological patterns rather than exclusionary criteria, underscoring the need for comprehensive inclusion of both solid and hematologic malignancies. Retrospective designs, while valuable, may overlook subclinical conditions such as myocarditis and lack precise chemotherapy dose tracking. Integrating advanced imaging, standardized biomarker surveillance, and multicenter collaboration in prospective registries can close these gaps, enhance diagnostic certainty, and improve risk stratification. Such approaches will strengthen cardio-oncology practice and optimize long-term cardiovascular outcomes in cancer patients.
