Abstract
A rather frequent problem in cardio-oncology is the imperfect comprehension between cardiologists and oncologist. In the daily clinical practice, the use of acronyms is common, but the acronyms used in a particular field of medicine are easily understood by the specialists of that particular field only; they may be less obvious for specialists of other fields. This chapter will help in understanding the most common oncologic and cardiologic terms.
