Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will be able to:                                      

• understand the importance of collaboration among cardiologists, oncologists, haematologists and other healthcare professionals to effectively manage cardiovascular toxicity in cancer patients;
• present the general principles to guide monitoring of cancer treatment and management of cardiovascular toxicity in patients undergoing cancer treatment;
• discuss the principles of permissive toxicity, where certain levels of toxicity are accepted to optimise cancer treatment outcomes while balancing cardiovascular risk;
• explain how to adapt cancer therapies based on the patient's cardiovascular profile and status, rather than simply reacting to toxicity; and
• demonstrate how to apply these recommendations in daily clinical practice using real-world clinical cases.

Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To delve into risk stratification and evaluation, explaining how noninvasive imaging methods and. biomarkers can play an important role in early detection of cardiovascular problems in patients being treated for cancer.
