Cardio-oncology
Protecting the heart from cancer treatments, which is increasingly important as patients live longer.
Anthracycline and trastuzumab cardiotoxicity, checkpoint-inhibitor myocarditis, TKI hypertension and QT prolongation, and radiation heart disease. Baseline and serial echocardiography with strain imaging, troponin/BNP monitoring, and cardioprotective drugs (dexrazoxane, ACE inhibitors, statins).
How it works
Risk stratification, surveillance, and prevention integrated into oncology care.
- Enables completion of curative therapy
- Workforce and access
