Topic:
How can clinicians minimize heart and metabolic problems in their patients with prostate cancer? The benefits of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in hormone-sensitive advanced prostate cancer are complicated by related cardiotoxicities and metabolic concerns. Join us on Twitter to discuss how experts identify these problems, use specific protective and management techniques, engage patients, and develop an individualized multidisciplinary treatment plan.
Expert Participants:
, Program Director, Cardio-Oncology Clinical Research Fellowship Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (); and , Associate Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine ()
