Modern Radiotherapy and Cardiac Toxicity in Breast Cancer

نویسندگان

چکیده

Radiotherapy (RT) is a mainstay of Breast Cancer (BC) patients therapy. Nonetheless, unintended irradiation the heart and its substructures can result in cardiac toxicity, jeopardizing long-term survivors’ quality life (QOL). Advances RT delivery techniques deeply impacted this clinical scenario. Indeed, given non-negligible burden cardiotoxicity, modern sparing approaches have pivotal role. further evidence eagerly awaited regarding patients’ selection, predictors, biological markers, particularly dose-constraints.

Cardiac Toxicity after Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: Myths and Facts.

Radiotherapy is an important component in the multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer. In recent years, the cardiac risks of radiation have been discussed several times. This problem has long been known and resolved from the radiotherapeutic point of view. The current data is briefly described here.

Tagged MRI Based Cardiac Motion Modeling and Toxicity Evaluation in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy

INTRODUCTION Recent research showed radiation for breast cancer can increase heart risks (1, 2). In Ref. (2), it has been noted that for every Gy of radiation a women’s heart risk rises 7.4%. However, the correlation between radiation dose and heart tissue damage is still an open problem. A more accurate model of heart damage will significantly improve the heart safety for patients underwent ra...

Dosimetric comparison of whole breast radiotherapy using field in field and conformal radiotherapy techniques in early stage breast cancer

Background: We aimed to compare field-in-field technique (FIF) with conformal tangential field radiotherapy (CRT) in terms of dosimetric benefits for early stage breast cancer radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty consecutive left-side breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were included to the study. For each patient, two different treatment plans were cr...
