Call to Action for Cardio-Oncology in Portugal Cardiovascular and oncological services are provided by the public Serviço Nacional de Saúde and private providers, but their interaction is currently minimal. National challenges include adequate adverse event reporting of cardiotoxicity of oncological therapies, surveillance strategies for cardiac disease, development of national registries of outcomes, and dissemination of this information during local meetings. Education for fellows-in-training can be conducted in both national and international centers. Clinical trials conducted locally usually have international sponsors. Collaboration with international societies and patient advocacy groups can open new horizons.
