Radiation Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to detecte and predict early subclinical cardiac damage induced by thoracic radiation therapy based on two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography combined with multiple circulating biomarkers.
Detailed description
This is a monocentric prospective cohort study in which 100 patients treated for malignant tumors and with cardiac radiation exposure will be included.All patient will be followed for 12 months after radiotherapy. Echocardiography, 2D STE parameters and circulating biomarkers will be collected.
