The advances in cancer care in recent decades have increased life expectancy for many survivors. However, the same treatments that have helped many live longer, fuller lives may also increase the risk of developing new heart conditions either during or after cancer treatment. In addition, some people with newly diagnosed cancer may have existing heart problems that need to be managed while undergoing cancer treatment.
Cardio-oncology is an emerging specialty where a team of cardiologists (cardiovascular specialists) collaborate with oncologists in providing the most effective cancer treatment while minimizing acute and chronic cardiovascular side effects. Heart disease and cancer are the top two causes of death in the United States, and recent research indicates that the risk of developing heart disease is much higher in cancer patients than in the general population.
Our cardio-oncologists work closely with specialists in Henry Ford Cancer to determine if you would benefit from a cardio-oncology consultation. You’re most likely to get referred to our cardio-oncology program if:
Not all chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation therapies cause damage to the heart. If you have blood, breast, kidney or lung cancer, to name a few, you may need treatments that have a higher risk for cardiotoxicity. However, your Henry Ford oncologist will discuss this with you and ensure that you understand your specific treatments and any risk you may face for heart damage, before beginning treatment.
Whether you have an existing heart condition or are at an increased risk for developing one, our team works in every way to ensure you can undergo your cancer treatment with the fewest heart- and vascular-related side effects. Our role is to ensure that you can get the most effective cancer care while minimizing heart damage. Your cancer treatment is always the primary focus, and we work with your oncology team to plan your cardio-oncology visits around your other treatments.
