Overview
Join Dr Arjun Ghosh (Barts Heart Centre, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, UK), Dr Sebastian Szmit (Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, PL), Dr Trishun Singh (Netcare Umhlanga Hospital, ZA) and Dr Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) for a pivotal webinar during London Global Cancer Week.
As the field of oncology evolves, the integration of cardiovascular care is becoming increasingly essential to support patients through their cancer treatment. This webinar will explore the emerging field of cardio-oncology, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular health in the cancer journey and how it can improve patient outcomes. This will include different perspectives and developments in India, Poland and Africa.
Don't miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of a crucial conversation that could shape the future of cancer treatment.
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 webinar 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.
