Oncocardiology: close collaboration between oncologists, cardiologists, and nephrologists

Abstract

Cancer treatment can lead to combined heart and kidney complications, which can have a significant impact on patient outcomes. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy used to treat cancer can cause damage to both the heart and kidneys, leading to a range of complications. Managing combined heart and kidney complications following cancer treatment requires a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach, with regular monitoring and personalized management plans tailored to the individual patient’s needs.
