Cardio-oncology in China

Curr Treat Options Oncol. 2023 Oct;24(10):1472-1488. doi: 10.1007/s11864-023-01123-x. Epub 2023 Aug 11.

Abstract

Cardio-oncology is going under rapid development in various areas across an increasing number of provinces in China. However there are still a myriad of challenges that need to be overcome in order to ensure its gradual and consistent expansion. The Cardio-Oncology Knowledge Transfer Model (KTM) forms the basis to allow exponential development of effective cardio-oncology services. This would ensure the implementation of precision-based practice while dynamically evolving cardio-oncology to integrate both Western and Chinese medical practices to become an official clinical sub-speciality in its own right in China, for the ultimate benefit of the patient.

Keywords: Cardio-oncology; China; Evolvement of cardio-oncology; Knowledge Transfer Model; Multidisciplinary team.
