ICOS International Cardio-Oncology
Cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are the two most common causes of death and disease worldwide! The incidence of both cancer and cardiovascular disease increases with age. With increased life expectancy, the burden of both diseases will increase substantially over the next decade. Also, advancement in cancer therapy and supportive care has led to an increasing number of survivors of childhood cancer. childhood cancer Seventy percent of the children diagnosed with malignancy before the age of 15 years will have a disease-free 5-year survival from diagnosis. Cancer is now being recognized as a chronic disease, as evidenced by a growing number of cancer survivors that currently exceeds 11 million. With further improvement in cancer therapy, this number will likely increase in years to come.

Vision
Eliminate cardiac disease as a barrier to effective cancer therapy in all of our patients being treated or who were previously treated for cancer.
Mission
ICOS exists to advance cardiovascular care of cancer patients and survivors by promoting collaboration among researchers, educators and clinicians around the world.
NO ONE HAS EVER BECOME POOR BY GIVING
Why does there need to be a focus on CardioOncology?
The complexity of contemporary cancer treatment has risen dramatically and patients are surviving even longer than ever before. As a result, cardiac disease comes to the forefront of long term survivorship.
Why donate time, energy, and money to the cause?
True multidisciplinary approaches to medical care are always valued and have dramatic improvements in overall outcomes.

“I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence.” Martin Luther, 1527
