Cardioprotective Strategies in Oncology

Cardioprotective strategies in oncology are approaches aimed at reducing heart damage during cancer treatment, especially when using certain chemotherapy drugs that can harm the heart. These strategies include using medications that protect the heart, monitoring heart health during treatment, and adjusting cancer therapy to minimize risks. Lifestyle changes, like a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, are also encouraged. By focusing on these measures, healthcare providers aim to ensure that patients can tolerate cancer treatment while maintaining their overall heart health.
