Cardio-oncology is a new interdisciplinary specialty that has emerged over the past ten years. With the development of increasingly potent cancer therapies which improve cancer survival, but at the cost of cardiovascular toxicity, the demand for specialized cardio-oncology services has emerged. Also, cardiovascular diseases are more common and more serious in cancer patients than in the general population. Cardio-oncology focuses on the prevention, detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in cancer patients, mostly those occurring as a side effect of chemo- and radiotherapy.
心脏肿瘤学是在过去十年中兴起的一门新兴跨学科专业。随着越来越有效的癌症治疗方法的发展，这些方法提高了癌症患者的生存率，但却以心血管毒性为代价，因此对专门的心脏肿瘤学服务的需求应运而生。此外，癌症患者中心血管疾病比普通人群更为常见和严重。心脏肿瘤学专注于癌症患者心血管疾病的预防、检测、监测和治疗，主要是那些作为化疗和放疗副作用而出现的疾病。
