There are multiple factors that may lead to decreased healthcare access and poor clinical outcomes for many of these patients, including: the lack of knowledge regarding the association between cancer and heart disease, lack of early detection of potentially cardio-toxic effects of certain cancer-related treatments, the prevalence of an aging population amongst cancer survivors [5] . We defined the success of our program by the ability to start and maintain a new service line in our institution, meeting the needs of a growing patient population, our strong cooperation with the oncology department, the achieved goal of bringing awareness of cardiovascular health in cancer patients, and by specific clinical benefits to multiple patients as described herein. ./cache/cord-263691-ovsi38bx.txt ./txt/cord-263691-ovsi38bx.txt
