Practical approaches to care

We're excited to announce a new Cardio-Oncology initiative: "Practical Approaches to Cardio-Oncology Care." We invite manuscripts dealing with state-of-the-art management of common clinical cardio-oncology issues and toxicities, e.g., “How to manage pericardial effusions.” As part of a new series, we will offer expedited reviews for rapid processing. See here for details.

Aims and scope

The editorial mission of Cardio-Oncology is to advance the science and practice of this emerging field to find a balance between oncologic efficacy and reducing adverse cardiovascular effects through timely publication and dissemination of peer-reviewed research. As an open access, online journal Cardio-Oncology provides a high visibility platform for the publication of original research and expert reviews on the cardiovascular effects of cancer treatment.
