Cardiac substructures dosimetric predicts cardiac toxicity and prognosis in esophageal squamous cell cancer treated by radiotherapy

CONCLUSIONS: In the population of ESCC patients receiving RT, we showed that the CS factors had a substantial predictive value for the various types and grades of CEs. The elevated radiation dose of LAD was a significant contributor to a higher rate of cardiac events and a worse prognosis.PMID:38199173 | PMC:PMC10788793 | DOI:10.1016/j.neo.2024.100969
