Perioperative Cardio-Oncology

Perioperative cardio-oncology refers to the specialized care of cancer patients' heart health during the period surrounding cancer surgery. This field combines cardiology and oncology to monitor and manage any cardiovascular risks that may arise due to cancer treatments and surgical procedures. Patients with a history of heart problems or those receiving specific cancer therapies may face increased risks. The goal of perioperative cardio-oncology is to ensure that heart issues are addressed before, during, and after surgery, ultimately improving overall patient safety and outcomes in their cancer treatment journey.
