Historically, heart dose from left-sided breast radiotherapy has been associated with a risk of
cardiac injury. Data suggests that there is not a threshold for the deleterious effects from …

Breast cancer radiotherapy reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and death. However, it
usually involves some radiation exposure of the heart and analyses of randomised trials …

Background The effect of internal mammary and medial supraclavicular lymph-node
irradiation (regional nodal irradiation) added to whole-breast or thoracic-wall irradiation after …

New anticancer therapies have led to a long life expectancy for many patients; however,
treatment-related comorbidities have become an issue for long-term cancer survivors …

Radiation treatment to the left breast is associated with increased cardiac morbidity and
mortality. The deep inspiration breath‐hold technique (DIBH) can decrease radiation dose …

Introduction: Adjuvant left breast radiotherapy (ALBR) for breast cancer can result in
significant radiation dose to the heart. Current evidence suggests a dose–response …

There is a clear association between therapeutic doses of thoracic irradiation and an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in cancer survivors, although these effects …

Radiation therapy (RT) is a very important part of multimodality cancer therapy. Addition of
RT improves survival in many cancers, but there are some accompaniments of radiation …

PURPOSE: Damage to heart and lung from breast radiotherapy is associated with increased
cardiovascular mortality and lung cancer development. We conducted a prospective study to …

Humans are continually exposed to ionizing radiation from terrestrial sources. The two major
contributors to radiation exposure of the US population are ubiquitous background radiation …
