Abstract
Lifestyle medicine interventions are well established for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and are increasingly applied to people with cancer, who face elevated cardiovascular risk from both the disease and its treatments. Cardio-oncology, an emerging subspecialty, focuses on prevention, management, and treatment of CVD in patients with cancer and survivors. Incorporating lifestyle medicine principles-such as physical activity, healthy diet, stress management, and social connections-can help mitigate CVD risk in this population. This article reviews the impact of cancer and its therapies on cardiovascular health, current guideline recommendations, and the importance of an interprofessional, holistic approach to individualized care.
