What is a Cardio-Oncologist?
Cardio-oncology is a new field in cardiology. Cardio-oncologists are typically cardiologists who see cancer survivors or patients getting cancer treatment who develop side effects that affect the heart. Cardio-oncologists have a special interest in and knowledge about cardiac side effects of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation to treat cancer. Since it is a fairly new field in cardiology, many U.S. cities do not yet have cardio-oncologists.
