Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To identify the high-risk cohort of patients for cardiac toxicity in patients treated with Radiotherapy ± Chemotherapy for thoracic malignancies AND To evaluate any grade cardiac toxicities in thoracic cancer patients treated with definitive Radiotherapy ± Chemotherapy Timepoint: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation of Cardiac Biomarkers with Cardiac Toxicity and Survival in Severely high-risk patientsTimepoint: 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter;Cumulative Incidence of = Grade 3 Cardiac ToxicityTimepoint: 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter;Number of patients requiring Cardiac InterventionTimepoint: 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter;To assess the impact of dosimetric parameters of the whole heart and its substructuresTimepoint: 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter;To identify radiological and functional imaging correlates of cardiac toxicityTimepoint: 6 months, 12 months and yearly thereafter
