In this Spotlight On Cardio-Oncology, learn about managing cardiovascular-related toxicities in hematological malignancies including CLL, lymphoma, amyloidosis, AML & MDS

Alongside the development of an ever-increasing number of cancer therapies available for patients, cancer survivorship has steadily increased over the past three decades, and the impact on patients has been significant.1 However, with new therapies, comes new challenges, and the management of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) has become an important consideration for healthcare professionals.2
