Overview
In this cardio-oncology broadcast, Prof Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US), Prof Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) and Dr Jeanne DeCara (University of Chicago Medicine, US) are joined by Dr Masood Shekarchizadeh (Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Institute, IR) presenting an intriguing case of a 44-year-old man with a cardiac mass. Following the presentation, the esteemed faculty will engage in a dynamic discussion, delving deep into the complexities of this case and explore the latest research findings and advancements in the field of cardio-oncology, providing a clear view of cutting-edge treatments and emerging therapies. By sharing their expertise, the faculty will unveil the complex interactions between cancer treatments and their potential impact on the cardiovascular system.
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.
