Abstract:
The increased availability of new cancer treatments in recent years has led to improved prognosis and increased life expectancy for cancer patients, but at the expense of increased cardiovascular risk. For this reason, multidisciplinary teams need to be formed for the joint evaluation of these patients to optimise the cardiovascular health and overall survival of these patients and minimise interruptions to onco-haematological treatments. A wide range of cardiovascular toxicities are associated with the various cancer treatments. The structured control of cardiovascular risk before, during and after oncological treatment will enable strategies for the prevention, early detection and early treatment of cardiotoxicities.

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...
