A Thriving New Field
It has been approximately 15 years since the term “cardio-oncology” was coined. I remember the beginnings: last session of the last day in local and international cardiology scientific meetings, with the attendance of mostly close friends. The field of cardio-oncology has advanced considerably since that time, with formation of special interest groups and councils in our societies, and development of scientific statements guiding us as to how to evaluate and treat these very complex patients. , It is then with great interest that we receive the Brazilian Position Statement on the Use of Multimodality Imaging in Cardio-Oncology -2021, a comprehensive, very well written and practical document that will serve as an invaluable resource to imagers in Brazil and all over the world.
I feel very proud of what we have accomplished but can’t help thinking of what needs to be done in the next fifteen years in the field of Imaging in Cardio-Oncology.
