Overview
The treatment of prostate cancer can have a significant detrimental impact on the cardiovascular system. So, when is the right time for the oncologist to call the cardiologist – before, during or after treatment or maybe at all the timepoints?
This 45 minute broadcast with 10 minute live Q&A is presented by Dr Mark Linch (UCLH, London, UK) and Dr Darryl Leong (McMaster University, CA) with Dr Arjun Ghosh (Barts, London, UK) as moderator. It will examine the cardiovascular issues related to contemporary prostate cancer management and the evidence base for screening, prevention and managing cardiotoxicity. The panel will explain the importance of a team-based true cardio-oncology approach to treating this patient population.
