Organised by the ESC Council of Cardio-Oncology, the conference aims to create synergies between specialists from related disciplines for better care and outcomes of oncology patients and cancer survivors treated with cardiotoxic cancer therapies or radiotherapy.

The field of cardio-oncology represents a critical intersection between cardiology, oncology and haematology, becoming increasingly common in clinical practice.

The care of patients with both cardiovascular disease and cancer requires specific individual skills and highlights the importance of teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The ESC Council of Cardio-Oncology was created to address these challenges and has the mission to promote the optimal management of cardiovascular diseases in patients with cancer to ensure uninterrupted treatment.

The 2022 ESC Guidelines on cardio-oncology have set the standards of cardio-oncology care. The subsequent ESC Core Curriculum for cardio-oncology has provided the principles to integrate basic cardio-oncology knowledge into practice.
