Breast cancer radiotherapy represents an essential component in the overall management
of both early stage and locally advanced breast cancer. As the number of breast cancer …

Cardiac toxicity has been implicated as the primary reason for excess non-breast cancer
mortality in early breast cancer radiotherapy studies. Refinements in radiotherapy …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To compare left-sided whole breast conventional and
intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment planning techniques. MATERIALS AND …

Objectives This meta-analysis evaluates the difference in deep inspiration breath hold
(DIBH) versus free breathing (FB) for patients receiving postoperative radiotherapy for left …

PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning has reduced the cardiac dose in
postoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer; however, the overall cardiac toxicity is still an …

Background Although intensity modulation of the radiation beam has been shown to lower
toxic effects for patients receiving whole-breast irradiation, relatively simple techniques may …

Abstract BACKGROUND. Radiation therapy (RT), a critical component of breast‐conserving
therapy for breast cancer, has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in …

Radiation therapy in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy as
indicated, has led to excellent local and distant control of early stage breast cancers. With …

Purpose: To reduce cardiotoxicity from breast radiotherapy (RT), innovative techniques are
under investigation. Information about cardiac motion with respiration and positional …

While the data regarding radiotherapy (RT)-induced cardiovascular disease in lung cancer
patients is limited, the cardiotoxic effects of RT have been thoroughly documented in long …
