Abstract:
Radiation therapy is one of the important comprehensive treatment strategies for thoracic neoplasms,but it also can cause radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) which can affect the quality of life and even endanger the lives of patients while killing tumor.With the development of comprehensive treatment for cancer,the patients achieve better survival outcomes.And the study reported about RIHD increased as well,which made RIHD became an important complication of thoracic neoplasms' treatment.Though modem radiotherapy techniques and new therapeutic principles have significantly made the incidence of RIHD decreased,the harm of RIHD should not be ignored.In this article,we review the research progress of RIHD.
