Early cardiac toxicity following adjuvant radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer with or without concurrent trastuzumab
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of concurrent trastuzumab on the cardiotoxicity in patients receiving left-sided adjuvant radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of stage I-III left-sided breast cancer patients, including 64 receiving concurrent trastuzumab with radiotherapy and 73 receiving radiotherapy alone were retrospectively reviewed. All of the patients had normal LVEF af...
متن کاملCardiac Dose Reduction with Deep-Inspiratory Breath Hold Technique of Radiotherapy for Left-Sided Breast Cancer
INTRODUCTION Different techniques of radiation therapy have been studied to reduce the cardiac dose in left breast cancer. AIM In this prospective dosimetric study, the doses to heart as well as other organs at risk (OAR) were compared between free-breathing (FB) and deep inspiratory breath hold (DIBH) techniques in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and opposed-tangent three-dimensional...
متن کاملDelivered dose can be a better predictor of rectal toxicity than planned dose in prostate radiotherapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For the first time, delivered dose to the rectum has been calculated and accumulated throughout the course of prostate radiotherapy using megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) image guidance scans. Dosimetric parameters were linked with toxicity to test the hypothesis that delivered dose is a stronger predictor of toxicity than planned dose. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dose-s...
متن کاملCan intensity modulated radiation therapy reduce cardiac dose in left-sided breast patients?
Purpose: In recent years interest has grown in the investigation and clinical application of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for adjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer. A review of the current literature was conducted to establish if IMRT can reduce doses delivered to the heart and potentially minimise the likelihood of cardiac toxicities for early stage left-sided breast ...
متن کاملCombined atresia of one left-sided and one right-sided cardiac valve in a premature newborn.
Described herein is the heart of a 2-day-old newborn, the product of a 25-week gestation, with atresia of two cardiac valves, one on the right side and one on the left side, apparently a previously undescribed entity.
