Learn more about cardio-oncology and how it helps reduce the risk of heart disease in cancer survivors: https://www.amitahealth.org/services/heart-and-vascular-institute/treatments/cardio-oncology  Cancer survivors are a fast-growing population in the U.S. There are approximately 17 million cancer survivors today and that number is expected to exceed 22 million by 2030. Now that cancer survivorship frequently lasts decades, ensuring the best possible quality of life has become just as important as extending that life. That’s why more and more doctors focus on reducing health risks caused by the cancer therapy itself.  On WGN-TV’s Living Healthy Chicago Medical Minute, cardio-oncologist Noura Dabbouseh, MD, of the AMITA Health Heart & Vascular Institute explains how certain forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy are known to raise the risk of cardiovascular complications. Cardio-oncology helps cancer patients and survivors reduce the risk of heart attack, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases — and even reverse cardiac damage from cancer treatment in some cases. This approach helps ensure that the patient responds well to their cancer therapy and gives them the best chance at living a long life free of heart problems.
