Written by experts in cardiovascular disease, hematology, and oncology, The Washington Manual® of Cardio-Oncology: A Practical Guide for Improved Cancer Survivorship
is a clinically relevant, easy-to-use primer on the detection,
management, and improved cardiovascular-based patient outcomes in adults
undergoing treatment for cancer or who have previously survived cancer
therapy. Edited by Drs. Daniel J. Lenihan, Joshua D. Mitchell, and
Kathleen W. Zhang, this concise yet comprehensive manual provides
high-yield information that reflects today’s advances in risk
stratification, early diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular
disease—all in an easy-access, concisely bulleted format for on-the-go
reference.
 

• Discusses the multitude of complex adverse
  effects of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation
  therapy to help optimize quality of life and prolong survival in this
  vulnerable patient population.

• Includes chapters on how
  cancer therapy affects the myocardium, valves, pericardium and cardiac
  electrical system including handy reference tables on typical side
  effects of commonly used cancer therapies.

• Provides
  practical guidance in an easy-to-follow format that covers definition,
  associated drugs/therapies, epidemiology, diagnosis (history, physical
  exam, and diagnostic testing), treatment, and outcome/prognosis.

• Covers
  the role of non-invasive imaging modalities in the diagnosis and
  screening for cardiovascular disease including echocardiography, MRI,
  and nuclear imaging.

• Addresses frequently encountered
  clinical scenarios such as preoperative or pre-high-risk treatment
  evaluation with up-to-date expert consensus recommendations.

• Details emerging treatments and optimal use of non-invasive imaging in cardiac amyloidosis.

• Features easy-to-use flow-charts and tables that aid in the differentiation of cardiac masses.
