Track: Cardio-Oncology
.webp)
The "Cardio-Oncology"
session will delve into the critical intersection of heart disease and cancer,
highlighting the latest advancements in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular
complications in cancer patients. The session will focus on the impact of
cancer treatments—such as chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies—on
the heart, exploring the long-term risks and challenges these treatments
present. It will also cover innovative strategies for preventing and managing
heart conditions in cancer patients, with an emphasis on personalized care
approaches tailored to individual risk factors. By integrating advanced imaging
techniques and biomarkers, the session will showcase how early detection and
precision medicine are improving outcomes.
Chemotherapy
and Radiation-Induced Cardiovascular Disease: Understanding the mechanisms of
cardiovascular toxicity caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapies, and the
management of conditions such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, and
arrhythmias in cancer patients.
Cardiovascular
Toxicity of Cancer Therapies: Discover how certain cancer treatments, such as
anthracyclines, trastuzumab, radiation therapy, and newer immunotherapies, can
lead to cardiovascular complications like heart failure, arrhythmias, and
vascular damage. Understand the mechanisms of these toxicities and the role of
early intervention to prevent long-term heart damage.
Early
Detection and Monitoring in Cardio-Oncology: Learn about the strategies for
early detection of cardiovascular risks in cancer patients, including the use
of echocardiography, biomarkers, cardiac MRI, and multigated acquisition (MUGA)
scans. Understand how continuous monitoring throughout cancer treatment can
help detect early signs of heart damage and guide timely intervention.
Managing
Cardiovascular Risk in Cancer Patients: Explore treatment approaches for
managing cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing cancer treatment. Discuss
the role of medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and statins in
preventing and mitigating the cardiac side effects of cancer therapies. Learn
how lifestyle interventions, including nutrition and physical activity, are
incorporated into patient care.
Heart Failure
in Cancer Survivors: Discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of
heart failure in cancer survivors, particularly in those who have received
chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Understand the unique challenges in treating
heart failure in this population, including the balance between cardiovascular
and cancer care.
Cardiac
Rehabilitation in Cancer Patients: Explore the role of cardiac rehabilitation
programs in cancer patients to improve heart health and quality of life during
and after cancer treatment. Learn how these programs can help reduce
cardiovascular risk, improve physical function, and support emotional
well-being.
Pediatric
Cardio-Oncology: Gain insights into the unique challenges of pediatric cardio-oncology, particularly in children who receive cancer treatments at a
young age. Discuss long-term cardiovascular monitoring strategies and
approaches to minimizing the risk of cardiovascular disease in pediatric cancer
survivors.
Emerging
Therapies and Innovations in Cardio-Oncology: Discover the latest advances in
cardio-oncology, including new medications, therapies, and clinical trials
focused on preventing or reversing cardiovascular damage caused by cancer
treatments. Discuss the potential of gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and
biomarkers in early detection and personalized treatment strategies.
