Subsequently, she founded the Canadian Cardiac Oncology Network (CCON) in 2011, a not-for-profit organization devoted to optimization of cancer care for patients without compromising cardiovascular health. Yearly CCON meetings in Ottawa helped facilitate the establishment of cardio-oncology clinics across Canada, as did the launch of a website (www.cardiaconcology.ca).

She has published extensively in this area and has co-authored a number of position statements and clinical practice guidelines. She is an Associate Editor of Cardio-Oncology, the first dedicated peer reviewed journal in this new discipline. She continues to work and build relationships with global organizations interested in cardio-oncology including: European Society of Cardiology, American College of Cardiology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Dent currently serves as an Executive Officer of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS), an organization dedicated to bringing cardiologists, oncologists, and allied health care providers together, to improve the clinical care of patients and save lives. In September 2018, Dr. Dent accepted a position as staff medical oncologist at Duke University. In addition to establishing a breast cancer practice, she will continue her efforts in promoting clinical care, education and research in the evolving field of Cardio-Oncology.
