[The Cardio-Oncology Guideline - A Comprehensive Approach to Managing Cardiovascular Risks in Cancer Patients].

The emerging field of cardio-oncology addresses the critical need for specialized cardiovascular care in cancer patients, given the overlapping risk factors and potential cardiovascular complications of oncological therapies. In collaboration with the European Hematology Association (EHA), the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the first cardio-oncology guideline was developed and published in 2022. This guideline comprises 272 recommendations covering risk stratification before therapy initiation, monitoring during oncological treatment, and the diagnosis and treatment of therapy-associated cardiovascular side effects.
