A council of doctors weighs the risks before starting treatment.
The goal is to reduce or prevent the side effects of cancer treatment on the cardiovascular system.
Cardiotoxicity as a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy can occur at any time, even 10 years after the start of therapy.
Patients are constantly monitored during treatment, and special protocols are used to solve cardiac problems.
Currently, cardio-oncology is becoming even more relevant, as cancer treatment methods have significantly developed, and this increases the need for supportive therapy and improving the quality of life.
Only teamwork helps to get the most effective cancer treatment with minimal damage to the heart.
