Overview
As cancer treatments advance, so does the need to understand and manage associated comorbidities. Atherosclerosis, often discovered incidentally during routine imaging, presents unique challenges in this population. Join Alexandra Gardner (Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, US), Dr Tamar Polonsky (The University of Chicago, US), Dr Zsofia Drobni (Semmelweis University, HU), Prof Daniel Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) and Prof Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) as they explore the implications, diagnostic strategies and potential interventions for addressing this threat in the journey of cancer care.
The partnership combines Radcliffe’s rapidly growing global community and expertise in delivering the most innovative virtual events, with the knowledge and experience of IC-OS’s members, to curate broadcasts that challenge current practice and have real-world patient benefits.
This broadcast is for cardiologists, haematologists, oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.
The International Cardio-Oncology Society is a committed group of professionals throughout the world who are striving to protect the cardiovascular health of all patients who are undergoing cancer therapy. By optimising the cardiac status of patients with cancer before, during and after their treatment, IC-OS is collectively improving the overall outcomes including survival and quality of life. IC-OS aims to provide the latest scientific and clinical education and research for anyone treating patients with cancer in the hopes of enhancing cardiovascular protection.
