Cardio-Oncology – Addressing Cardiovascular Complications of Cancer Therapies

Cardio-oncology is dedicated to monitoring and managing cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies. Advanced imaging techniques like 3D echocardiography and biomarkers such as natriuretic peptides and troponins enable early detection of cardiac dysfunction. Future advancements will focus on cardio-protective interventions administered alongside cancer therapy, multidisciplinary care models integrating oncologists and cardiologists, and precision medicine to identify high-risk patients for tailored prevention and treatment strategies, ultimately improving long-term cardiac health in cancer survivors.
