A case report and review of the literature: cardiotoxicities after radiotherapy for breast cancer patients with high-risk factors of cardiovascular disease

We report a case of left breast cancer in a 63-year-old female with a high risk of CVD who was suspected of having radiation-induced myocardium injury 1  year after postoperative adjuvant therapy. Radiation oncologists should not only reduce the adverse effects by perfecting radiotherapy technology but also consider reducing other high-risk factors for CVD.
