3rd Annual Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network Conference, June 20 – 21, 2013, Ottawa Convention Centre

Reporter: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN

The Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network was established in 2011 to bring together health care professionals interested in understanding how cancer therapies impact cardiac health. The Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network’s vision is to optimize cardiac care for cancer patients receiving potentially cardiotoxic therapies. The Network’s missions are to: 1) gain a better understanding of cardiac complications of oncology treatments, 2) develop early detection and intervention strategies to optimize cardiac health, and 3) optimize patient outcomes by collaborating with allied healthcare professionals.

To date, we have hosted two Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network conferences in Ottawa, with a growing interest from a number of health care providers including oncologists, cardiologists, radiologists, nurses, pharmacists, and basic scientists. The 3rd Annual Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network Conference will be held on June 20th-21st, 2013 at The Ottawa Convention Centre.
