Cardiac Function after Modern Radiation Therapy with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy or Helical Tomotherapy for Advanced Left-Breast Cancer Receiving Regional Nodal Irradiation

Cardiac Function after Modern Radiation Therapy with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy or Helical Tomotherapy for Advanced Left-Breast Cancer Receiving Regional Nodal Irradiation

Background: Protecting cardiac function in patients with advanced left-breast cancer receiving radiation therapy (RT) with regional nodal irradiation (RNI) is an important issue. Modern RT techniques can limit cardiac exposure. The aim of this study was to explore the association be-tween cardiac do...
