Establishing an oncocardiology service 2020-06-22 .txt text/plain 3131 174 31 To reduce mortality and morbidity and to improve patient care, it will be essential to establish a network of oncocardiology services that allows us to enhance cardiac surveillance strategies and to improve adherence to cardiological diagnostics and therapy. Furthermore, patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (history of smoking, hypertension, reduced ejection fraction) also have a higher risk of cardiac side effects associated with oncological therapies. The simplified aim of an oncocardiology service is based on two key points: (1) to facilitate successful cancer therapy and (2) to reduce the burden of cardiovascular pathologies. Due to the large patient cohort and the increasing number of diverse cardiac side effects of oncological therapies, specific training for oncocardiology is considered necessary in large clinical centers [30] [31] [32] . The oncocardiology service has to be adapted to the local needs based on the number of patients for certain cancer entities and therapies. ./cache/cord-353987-hj94a04i.txt ./txt/cord-353987-hj94a04i.txt
