Description
The aim of this whitepaper is to review the current state of the literature on the effects of cardio-oncology rehabilitation and exercise (CORE) programmes and provide a roadmap for improving the evidence-based to support the implementation of CORE. There is an urgent need to reinforce and extend the evidence informing the cardiovascular care of cancer survivors. CORE is an attractive model that is potentially scalable to improve the cardiovascular health of cancer survivors as it leverages many of the existing frameworks developed through decades of delivery of cardiac rehabilitation. However, there are several challenges within this burgeoning field, including limited evidence of the efficacy of this approach in patients with cancer. In this paper, a multidisciplinary team of international experts highlights priorities for future research in this field and recommends standards for the conduct of research.
