Earlier this week, the VCU Health Pauley Heart Center & VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center hosted 350+ attendees from more than 25 countries for the 2026 Global Cardio-Oncology Summit in Williamsburg, Virginia. Led by our fearless co-chairs Fadi Salloum, PhD, Sr. Associate Dean for Research at VCU School of Medicine, and Wendy Bottinor, MD, MSCI, Medical Director of Pauley's Cardio-Oncology Program, summit attendees discussed innovation in cardio-oncology, including advances in AI, imaging, amyloidosis, cardiotoxicity prevention, and much more. Visit bit.ly/4jMFrGK for a GCOS recap. And a huge thank you to all the physicians, researchers, advanced practice providers, nurses, students, and more who made the trip to Williamsburg from across the globe!

Day 2 opened with the announcement of the Young Investigator Award winner, Dr. Joseph Wallins, followed by recognition of the finalists and a group photo.
The program then moved into a session on precision exercise in cardio‑oncology, where discussions explored how behavioral and lifestyle approaches can strengthen patient engagement and how rehabilitation models are evolving across different care environments. The conversation emphasized individualized strategies, behavior‑driven support, and the growing attention to autonomic dysfunction and cancer‑related fatigue within survivorship pathways.
The morning continued with the joint IC‑OS × @CancerCareMASCC session, which brought a global perspective to survivorship and cardiovascular health. The discussion highlighted disparities in access, the need for adaptable care models, and practical steps oncology teams can take to integrate cardiovascular risk assessment and management—even in resource‑limited settings.
OncoDaily continues coverage of #GCOS2026 from Williamsburg as the summit unfolds.

Are We Ready to Move Beyond Animal Models in Heart Research?

#CardioResearch #AnimalModels #BiomedicalInnovation #Organoids #AIinScience
ALT New technologies promise to reduce reliance on animal studies in cardiovascular research, but challenges remain. Human cell models, AI, and organoids offer exciting potential, yet data limitations, complex biology, and translational hurdles mean animal models still play a crucial role. The future lies in integrative, complementary approaches.

Our article is officially published highlighting the potential of physical activity to preserve cardiovascular health during cancer treatment ♥️
TONS of awesome teamwork in this pub. @VCUHealthHeart @VCUMassey @wakeforestmed
Physical activity (PA) declined during breast cancer (BC) therapy. However, PA participation was associated w/ attenuated declines in exercise capacity & cardiac function often observed in this population. bit.ly/3MoeCXT
