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.
