"Having a tumor, but dying of the heart" seems to be contrary to daily cognition, but it really occurs in many patients with malignant tumors.

As early as April 2018, Zhongshan Hospital took the lead in opening the first multidisciplinary joint clinic of oncology and cardiology in East China

In order to bring this emerging discipline into the public eye, the team rewrote real clinical cases into medical science storybooks, filmed micro-movies, and used various forms of popular science to "run and tell each other", hoping that medical staff and patients can discover this field and improve the The quality of life of cancer patients works together

"Popular science can not only prevent the occurrence of diseases, but also play an important role in improving the prognosis of patients

As the leader of the "Tumor Cardiology" team of Zhongshan Hospital, Chief Physician Cheng Leilei has been deeply involved in medical science popularization.

In this event, "Speak Your Heart 3" written by Cheng Leilei was released

In order to better promote the development of oncology cardiology in China, the oncology cardiology team of Zhongshan Hospital also compiled the "Concise Clinical Guidebook of Oncology Cardiology", which is also the first practical summary of the field of cancer cardiology in China

Ge Junbo said that various anti-tumor treatments may cause different degrees of myocardial damage, which has become the consensus of experts at home and abroad

Through long-term clinical practice, the oncology and cardiology team of Zhongshan Hospital found that as an effective drug for the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy, total saffron can improve myocardial oxygen supply, and at the same time, it has a good effect on the mild immunity caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.
