Overview
Join Dr Dominic Vickers (Prince of Wales Hospital, AU), Dr Daniel Chen (Prince of Wales & St George Hospitals, AU) and Dr Charlotte Lemech (University of New South Wales, AU) as they present a case of fulminant immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis administered as part of a Phase 1 clinical trial associated with challenging arrhythmic complications. They will be joined by Prof Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) and Prof Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) to discuss the role and importance of cardiac surveillance and cardio-oncology collaboration in cancer trials.
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.
