Cardio-Oncology Prevention

Cardio-oncology prevention focuses on protecting the heart health of cancer patients. Some cancer treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation, can harm the heart. This specialty aims to identify patients at risk, monitor their heart health, and implement strategies to prevent potential heart problems. By working together, oncologists and cardiologists create a tailored care plan that balances effective cancer treatment with the preservation of heart health, ensuring that patients can complete their cancer treatments with minimal cardiac complications. This proactive approach helps improve overall outcomes and quality of life for cancer survivors.
