Overview
Join renowned experts in paediatric cardiology and oncology, Dr Neha Bansal (Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, US), Dr Luc Mertens (The Hospital for Sick Children, CA) and Dr Gautam Singh (Children’s Hospital of Michigan, US), as they address the pressing issue of cardiovascular complications associated with cancer treatment in children.
Central to the discussion will be the latest recommendations from the American Society of Echocardiography, offering practical insights into implementing multimodality imaging approaches in clinical practice.
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.
