Research in cardio-oncology (Fund)
Supporting translational and clinical research in the field of cardio-oncology.
What is it about?
Thanks to intensive research in oncology, more and more patients survive cancer and live longer. However, pre-existing cardiac condition or cardiotoxicity developed during the treatment can affect the cancer treatment outcome: prognosis, survival and quality of life. The Funds for research in cardio-oncology, a collaboration between several Funds managed by the King Baudouin Foundation with a similar mission, support research on the care and cure for cancer patients developing a cardiotoxicity, as well as the care and cure for cancer patients with a pre-existing cardiac condition.
