Journal of Clinical Medicine Webinar | Updates on Cardiac and Vascular Toxicities from Antineoplastic Drugs, 7 July 2025
With the improvements in cancer prognosis thanks to advances in anti-cancer treatment protocols and new targeted therapies and immunotherapies, we are witnessing an increase in survival; however, at the same time, an increase in morbidity has also been observed among cancer survivors as a consequence of the increased cardiovascular adverse effects of anti-cancer drugs.
This is often the consequence of mechanisms that are still partially unknown, which prevent the development of preventative and curative therapies that target the specific cardio- and vasculotoxic effects of anti-cancer therapies.
In this webinar, we will discuss the new frontiers of cardio-oncology research, the mechanisms and implications of hidden cytotoxicity, and the metabolic roots of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. These topics will be covered by world-class experts in the field.
This webinar will be introduced by an opening greeting from Prof. Dr. Rosalinda Madonna, together with the co-chair, Prof. Dr. Luca Liberale.
Date: 07 July 2025 at 4:00 p.m. CEST | 10:00 a.m. EDT | 10:00 p.m. CST Asia
