Radiation therapy to heart can worsen fatigue, shortness of breath in cancer patients
(American College of Cardiology) Radiation doses to the heart that occur during radiation therapy treatments for lung cancer, breast cancer and lymphoma can increase fatigue, cause difficulty breathing and lower capacity for physical activity in patients with cancer, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient course. The course examines new science and best practices in assessing, diagnosing and treating the unique cardiovascular concerns of patients with cancer and/or those requiring survivorship care.

Much shorter radiation treatment found to be safe, effective for people with soft tissue sarcoma
In this study at UCLA, a national leader in the care of patients with sarcoma, researchers used a condensed five-day radiation regimen that considerably cuts down the length of treatment and the time to surgery.“Shortening the radiation therapy from five weeks to five days has been a very meaningful change for patients,” said lead author Dr. Anusha Kalbasi, assistant professor of radiation oncology in the division of molecular and cellular oncology. “Five weeks of daily treatments is a burdensome com mitment for patients. The daily back-and-forth can be expensive and time consuming, and it can really inte...

Researchers Capture First Images of Oxygen in Cancer Tumors during Radiation Therapy
Oxygen in cancer tumors is known to be a major factor that helps radiation therapy be successful. Hypoxia, or starvation of oxygen, in solid tumors is also thought to be an important factor in resistance to therapy. However, it is difficult to monitor tumor oxygenation without invasive sampling of oxygen distributions throughout the tissue, or without averaging across the whole tumor, whereas oxygen is highly heterogenous within a tumor.

With specialty cameras and injection of an oxygen probe drug, researchers at Dartmouth's and Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center have demonstrated the first way to directly monitor the full range of oxygen distributions within the tumor right at the time when radiation therapy is happening.

Study suggests biological clock is key to reducing heart damage from radiation therapy
(Washington State University) A new study suggests that the biological clock is involved in heart toxicity from radiation therapy and could be harnessed as part of a preventive strategy. Findings show that after receiving radiation to the heart, mice with disrupted biological clocks had significantly worse heart function than controls. They also demonstrated that Bmal1--a protein that drives 24-hour rhythms in the expression of many genes--plays an important role in protecting the heart from radiation-related damage.
