Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have led to increasing numbers of cancer survivors worldwide. Nonetheless, despite major improvements in the outcome of these patients, long-term cardiovascular side effects of radio- and chemotherapy affect both patient survival and quality of life, independent of the oncological prognosis.
To meet the growing demand for a specialized interdisciplinary approach for the prevention and management of cardiovascular complications induced by cancer treatment, a new discipline termed cardio-oncology has evolved. The relatively new subspecialty focuses on identifying cancer patients at risk for cardiovascular adverse events, the early detection and treatment of cancer-treatment-induced cardiac dysfunction (heart failure, arrhythmias, ischemia, etc.), and monitoring the long-term side effects induced by mediastinal radiotherapy and anthracycline treatment. This Special Issue will be dedicated to this new and rapidly evolving field. Here we welcome papers on pre-cancer treatment risk assessment as well as the early detection of cardiovascular complications during treatment, and encourage the submission of papers dedicated to the practical clinical implementation of cardio-oncology care.
Dr. Arco J. Teske
