Journal Club: Dexrazoxane and Long-Term Heart Function in Survivors of Childhood Cancer

In this month's Journal Club, Dr Jahanzaib Ekram (USF/Moffitt Cancer Center, US) Dr Jose Alvarez-Cardona (New York University School of Medicine, US) Prof Dan Lenihan (Saint Francis Healthcare System, US) and Prof Joe Carver (University of Pennsylvania, US) discuss 'Dexrazoxane and Long-Term Heart Function in Survivors of Childhood Cancer'. The panel will lead an insightful discussion on the enduring heart function of survivors of childhood cancer treated with doxorubicin, with a special focus on the role of dexrazoxane.

The partnership combines Radcliffe’s rapidly growing global community and expertise in delivering the most innovative virtual events, with the knowledge and experience of IC-OS’s members, to curate broadcasts that challenge current practice and have real-world patient benefits. 

This broadcast is for cardiologists, haematologists, oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.

The International Cardio-Oncology Society is a committed group of professionals throughout the world who are striving to protect the cardiovascular health of all patients who are undergoing cancer therapy. By optimising the cardiac status of patients with cancer before, during and after their treatment, IC-OS is collectively improving the overall outcomes including survival and quality of life. IC-OS aims to provide the latest scientific and clinical education and research for anyone treating patients with cancer in the hopes of enhancing cardiovascular protection.
