Nursing Management of Cancer Treatment-Induced Cardiotoxicity

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Studies have shown that certain cancer therapies adversely affect the heart and lead to various types of injuries, which often result in death. This activity reviews recent advances in the management of cancer teatment-induced cardiotoxicity.

STATEMENT OF NEED

Several studies reveal that certain cancer therapies adversely affect the heart and lead to various types of injuries, which often result in death. Adverse cardiac effects may occur immediately after cessation of therapy or, in some cases, years after the therapy has been discontinued. Often the cardiotoxicity presents in subtle ways, and a lack of awareness results in high morbidity and mortality. It is important for oncology nurses to be aware of current advances in the management of treatment-induced cardiotoxicity as this complication limits long-term survival.
