Cardiotoxicity of novel anti-cancer therapies

The cardiotoxicity of cancer treatments is a significant research space in the cardio-oncology field. 

For this Cardio-Oncology article collection, we welcome submissions examining cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular-targeted agents, and immune-modulating agents. Manuscripts investigating cardiotoxicity related to novel cancer treatments will be highly appreciated.

Submissions can be made through the journal's editorial management system. 
Articles published in the collection have already gone through the systematic peer review process of the journal.
