Abstrakt: | Malignant disease and its treatment carry huge burdens for patients. Some are immediate, in that the disease itself presents as a life threatening event, or the treatment may result in immediate and devastating toxicity. More often the treatment of cancer is associated with more subtle or late events, yet these may impact the quality of life for cancer survivors in a variety of ways. In addition to the physical sequelae of cancer or its treatment, cancer survivors often experience consequences in the form of social or mental incapacity. Session III of this Colloquium on Cardio-Oncology focuses on some of these concerns, both from the perspective of health care providers who strive to minimize the burdens, but also from the viewpoint of the patient him or herself who must deal with the price that must often be paid for increased survival or cure.
