- CARDIOCARE: Interdisciplinary approaches to managing cardiotoxicity in older breast cancer patients – discussion
This symposium marks a significant step forward in interdisciplinary, patient-centered approaches to cardio-oncology care. It reinforces CARDIOCARE’s mission to develop evidence-based, inclusive, and scalable models for the prevention and management of cardiotoxicity in vulnerable populations.
We thank all attendees, speakers, and partners for their invaluable contributions. Together, we continue to advance care for older breast cancer patients at risk of cardiovascular complications.
Stay tuned for more updates and publications from the CARDIOCARE project.
