Скачать или смотреть The biggest threat to the health of prostate cancer patients? Heart disease.

Heart disease is the leading cause of non-cancer death in men with prostate cancer—and it often goes underrecognized. In this essential talk, Dr. Darryl Leong explains why heart disease poses a greater long-term threat than prostate cancer itself, especially for those on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Dr. Darryl Leong, Director, Cardio-Oncology Program at : McMaster University & Hamilton Health Sciences is one of the few cardiologists in the world who specializes in prostate cancer patients. Drawing from global research—including the RADICAL-PC study, U.S. veteran data, and Swedish population studies—he shows how cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and frailty are common yet poorly managed in this population.

Dr. Leong covers:
Why heart disease is the most common non-cancer cause of death in prostate cancer survivors
How ADT can increase risks of heart failure, stroke, diabetes, and weight gain
What can be done today to monitor and reduce cardiovascular risk—through both clinical interventions and lifestyle changes
Why tools like the CARE-PC app can help clinicians and patients reduce heart-related complications
