Cancer Treatment Is Hard on Your Body Protect Your Heart

Cancer treatment is a journey, and that journey can be difficult for your heart. We want to do everything we can to make it easier, closely monitoring your heart for cardiotoxic side effects, without delaying your treatment.
Some of the symptoms of a heart condition can feel similar to the side effects of your treatment, like feeling tired or a little breathless, so you might not realize that a heart problem is developing. But we will. Our cardio-oncology programs specialize in the early detection of heart problems caused by cancer treatments, often before they can do any serious damage. Our network is equipped with the latest diagnostic technology for cancer-related heart problems, including:
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- Echocardiogram
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Radionuclide Imaging
- Early Detection of Heart Problems During Cancer Treatment
-
As you’re going through your cancer journey, the side effects of your treatment can be challenging, but you always make the best of them. You’ve embraced hats or head scarves and discovered ways to let the nausea pass. Learning that your cancer treatment has caused a heart condition or heart disease can be devastating, but with rapid detection and intervention, it is possible to reduce or even reverse the effects.
Within our network, you’ll find leading experts in the treatment of heart failure, vascular disease, and other cardiovascular conditions. You’ve got a multidisciplinary team of oncologists and cardiologists at your side who'll do everything they can to keep your heart a strong and healthy partner in your fight against cancer.
- Collaborative and Compassionate Treatment
-
You’ve shown so much strength already. We're here to help you handle anything that comes your way. If a cardiac problem caused by cancer treatments develops, we’re here to bolster your strength and help you find fresh hope and courage.
Our comprehensive cardio-oncology programs unite an expert team to protect and support your heart health, including oncologists, cardiologists, specialized cardiac oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons. They’ll collaborate to decide the best course of action, like adjusting your chemotherapy or radiation treatment plan, or considering other alternatives if necessary, including surgery. With timely interventions and specialized treatment, we can reduce the effects of a cardiac issue, and in some cases, reverse them entirely.
