Overview

Format: Live In-Person

This course is planned and hosted by the Lillehei Heart Institute, University of Minnesota and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota. For more information, please visit https://www.gcos2024.com/ or contact Lissa Martinez Huebner, CMP, at [email protected] or 612-624-7552.

The discovery of new cancer therapeutics has led to a significant increase in the number of cancer survivors.  More individuals are cured from their cancer today, while there is also a growing number of individuals living with their disease.  With the advancements and improved cancer survival, many cancer survivors experience both long term and short-term cardiovascular effects. These cardiovascular complications have a major impact on mortality, at times exceeding that of the primary malignancy.

With a decline in cancer mortality, cardiovascular disease has emerged as a competing cause of death. Cancer survivors now demonstrate 2-5 times higher risk of mortality due to cardiovascular disease than the general population, impacting the gains achieved in cancer survival. In response to the growing concerns of the CV challenges faced by patients with cancer, the field of cardio-oncology has evolved, which consists of experts in both cancer and cardiology working to improve the detection, monitoring and treatment of CV disease at each stage of the cancer care continuum. The field is rapidly growing as it advances to meet the urgent need to improve the cardiovascular health of patients with cancer.

Join us in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA for this in-person state-of-the-art, comprehensive curriculum that addresses important clinical topics relevant to the cardiovascular health of patients with cancer. Together with local and international experts in cardiology and oncology experts learn the latest research and contemporary practice strategies in prevention, early diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease in patients with cancer.

This meeting will provide a forum for networking and professional collaboration. All presentations will include devoted time for interaction between audience members and presenters.  We hope to see you there!
