Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Cardio-oncology is a new discipline of internal medicine that deals with cardiovascular comorbidities of cancer patients. Internists track cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation and intervene on time.

Preventive measures include risk evaluation, medication management, and lifestyle modification to ensure cardiac health. Shared care with oncologists permits individualized treatment planning and detection of cardiac complications at an early stage.

Monitoring in the long term, patient education, and rehabilitation improve quality of life and recovery. Internal medicine maximizes both the safety and efficacy of cancer therapy on cardiovascular function.
