Research Overview

A clear strategy for understanding, preventing and treating the cardiovascular effects of cancer therapy.

Our Research Strategy

Cancer treatments save lives, but they can also damage the heart. Our research strategy is built to close that gap: detecting cardiovascular risk early, understanding the biology that drives it, developing protective treatments, and supporting survivors over the long term. We pursue this through a tightly connected programme that moves discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic and back again.

Key Focus Areas

Discovery Science

Cardiovascular side effects of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy

Cardiovascular toxicity prevention

Cardioprotective interventions

Clinical and Population Science

Cardiovascular assessments with short and long-term follow up throughout the cancer journey

Novel biomarkers for early detection of cardiotoxicity and personalised monitoring

Implementation

Specialist and nurse led cardio-oncology clinics co-located with cancer services

Multi-disciplinary models of care

Survivorship

Heart health embedded across the cancer survivorship continuum

A shared Cancer Survivorship Heart Health Plan for every stage of the cancer journey

Training and Education

Conferences, webinars and clinics

Education for patients, clinicians and researchers in cardio-oncology science

Our Impact

By bringing cardiology and oncology together, our work helps clinicians identify at-risk patients sooner, protect hearts during treatment, and give cancer survivors the best possible long-term outcomes. Every project is designed to translate into real benefit at the bedside.
