ONCOR: design of the Dutch cardio-oncology registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relative new subspecialty 'cardio-oncology' was established to meet the growing demand for an interdisciplinary approach to the management of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular adverse events. In recent years, specialised cardio-oncology services have been implemented worldwide, which all strive to improve the cardiovascular health of cancer patients. However, limited data are currently available on the outcomes and experiences of these specialised services, and optimal strategies for cardio-oncological care have not been established.

Aim

The ONCOR registry has been created for prospective data collection and evaluation of cardio-oncological care in daily practice.

Methods

Dutch hospitals using a standardised cardio-oncology care pathway are included
