Abstract:
Management of cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer and cancer survivors requires particular clinical expertise and skills that are central to cardio-oncology. The areas of knowledge required include specific cardiovascular complications directly related to oncologic therapies and the impact of cancer and its therapies on existing or potential cardiovascular comorbidities. Many cancer therapeutics have potential cardiotoxicity. The conversion of many cancers to chronic conditions, rather than fatal diseases, has produced a population of patients with cancer at high risk for cardiovascular diseases that require specialized knowledge of treating physicians. Thus, there is a compelling need for enhanced cardio-oncology training.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
