Abstract

The therapeutical advances in recent years in the field of oncology treatment have increased survival rates and improved the quality of life of oncology patients, thus turning cancer into a chronic disease. However, most of the new cancer treatments come at the expense of serious cardiovascular adverse events threatening the success story of these patients.

The aim of this narrative review is to demonstrate the existing knowledge and practical approaches on how to establish and maintain a cardio-oncology program for the rising number of patients who need it.
