Multimodal Assesment of Acute Cardiac Toxicity Induced by Thoracic Radiotherapy in Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes by two modalities: Imaging by Strain by Speckle Tracking and Magnetic Resonance versus soluble markers of cardiac dysfunction as early predictors of cardio-toxicity in cancer patients receiving low or high doses of radiotherapy.
