The advances in cancer therapeutics has significantly improved cancer survival. With cancer mortality decreasing, cardiovascular disease has emerged as a formidable competing cause of death. Cancer survivors now demonstrate 2-5 times higher mortality risk due to cardiovascular disease than the general population, threatening to limit the gains achieved in cancer survival. In response to the growing concerns about the cardiovascular challenges faced by patients with cancer, the field of Cardio-Oncology has evolved, consisting of experts in both cancer and cardiovascular medicine working to improve the detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease at each stage of the cancer care continuum. The field is rapidly growing to meet the urgent need to improve the cardiovascular health of patients with cancer.
Join us in person in New York City for this state-of-the-art, comprehensive, case-based curriculum addressing critical topics relevant to the cardiovascular health of patients with cancer and cancer survivors. Together, an interdisciplinary group, consisting of cardiology and oncology experts from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and around the world, will present the latest research and contemporary practice strategies in the prevention, early diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease in cancer patients and cancer survivors. The symposium will include a series of talks highlighting cutting-edge and trending subjects in the rapidly evolving field of Cardio-Oncology, ensuring that participants gain insights into the most recent advancements shaping the future of cardiovascular care for cancer patients.
This symposium will offer a forum for networking and professional collaboration. All presentations will include devoted time for interaction between audience members and presenters. Additionally, a complimentary networking reception will be held on Thursday, May 2, 2024, following the symposium, to provide an opportunity for the Cardio-Oncology community to interact and get to know each other. Please RSVP for the networking reception during registration. We hope to see you there!
