About the Symposium

The inaugural ACORES meeting aims to build a multidisciplinary network connecting cardiology, oncology, haematology, radiation oncology, pharmacy, and allied health.

Across two days, the symposium will feature national and international experts and provide opportunities for collaboration, cutting-edge research, best-practice clinical presentations, and the continued development of Australia’s cardio-oncology community.

The symposium is designed for a broad audience, including clinicians and researchers in cardio-oncology, consultant and trainee cardiologists, medical and radiation oncologists, haematologists, allied health practitioners involved in cancer care (including nurses, technicians, cancer care coordinators, exercise physiologists, physiotherapists and dietitians), and fundamental, translational and clinical researchers working in the field.
