Thanks to all who joined today's @FondationLeducq symposium at @uarizona, coordinated by @ArdehaliHossein! Researchers from four countries shared new work on protecting the heart in cancer care, with a keynote by Javid Moslehi, MD (@CardioOncology).

Thanks to @UAZCancer for the beautiful space!

Cancer immunotherapy can, in rare cases, turn the immune system against the heart.

At today's Sarver Special Lecture, Javid Moslehi, MD (@CardioOncology), of @UCSFMedicine explained how his team first identified this myocarditis and is tracing the T cells that drive it. Thank you, Dr. Moslehi!
