Radiation-induced Toxicity of the Heart
Sponsor: Technische Universität Dresden
Summary
Late side effects in radio(chemo)therapy \[R(CH)T\] pose a critical limitation to patients' overall survival and quality of life. Even though toxicities of the heart are highly relevant for patients with cancer in the thoracic region, risk stratification models for these toxicities are lacking. In this study, liquid, functional and imaging biomarkers are being investigated for their use in prediction of cardiac toxicity following R(CH)T for patients with thoracic malignancies.
