How to Optimize Cardiovascular Health in Patients With Cancer and Survivors.

Description of cardio-oncology program

The field of cardio-oncology has emerged in response to the need to provide the best cancer care without compromising cardiovascular health. Here are some resources designed to help you understand .

Moffit Cancer Center, Tampa, FL

Moffitt Cancer Center’s Cardio-Oncology Program helps patients monitor and manage the cardiovascular side effects of cancer treatment, as well as pre-existing cardiovascular conditions that might complicate a patient’s diagnosis. We are the first such academic program in the region, bringing together the expertise of researchers and oncologists from Moffitt and expert cardiologists from USF Health.
Our Cardio-Oncology Program welcomes any patient actively receiving cancer therapy, as well as survivors who have completed treatment. Certain therapies may lead to cardiovascular complications, which may occur long after the cancer treatments have ended.

An Overview of Cardio Oncology
Washington University, St. Louis
The survival of patients with cancer has dramatically improved over the past 30 years with the introduction of new therapeutic agents. As a result, there is an impressive increase in the number of cancer survivors and it is expected that there will be over 18 million in the US by the year 2020. A growing array of complex new therapies allows for even better overall outcomes for patients being treated for cancer. However, these therapies do not come without toxicities and cardiovascular structures can frequently become involved.
In the coming years there will probably be a Cardio-Oncology ‘epidemic’ due to either the growing population of cancer survivors, the increasing number of patients aged over 65 who need chronic cancer therapy and the high frequency of cancer therapy induced CVDs in these populations.
ESC Cardio-Oncology Council
The Cardio-Oncology Pharmacist's Network
This guideline, authored by a pan-Canadian expert group of health care providers and commissioned by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, is intended to guide the care of cancer patients with established cardiovascular disease or those at risk of experiencing toxicities related to cancer treatment.

Abstracts From GCOS 2019
The GCOS Clinical Practice Guidelines, prepared and reviewed by leading experts and based on the findings of evidence-based medicine, provide you with a set of recommendations to help patients with the best care options.
Cardiac dysfunction is a serious adverse effect of certain cancer-directed therapies that can interfere with the efficacy of treatment, decrease quality of life, or impact the actual survival of the patient with cancer.Recommendations were developed by an expert panel with multidisciplinary representation using a systematic review (1996 to 2016) .

CVD in Patients and Survivors of Breast Cancer
  • In older, postmenopausal women, the risk of mortality attributable to CVD is higher in breast cancer survivors than in women without a history of breast cancer. This greater risk manifests itself approximately 7 years after the diagnosis of breast cancer.
  • Age-adjusted mortality rates of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are higher than that of breast cancer.
