The role of a cardio-oncology clinical nurse specialist in the United Kingdom

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Cardio-oncology is a growing subspeciality of cardiology that involves the prevention and early detection of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT). Cardiovascular complications can occur before, during and after cancer treatment, due to de novo cardiotoxicity or an exacerbation of a previous cardiac condition. Therefore, cancer patients undergoing cancer treatment need to be assessed before, during and after their cancer treatment. This article describes the development and progress of a specialised nursing role, known as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, United Kingdom (UK).
