Heart dose study for left breast cancer radiation
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies the heart dose in people who have completed a specific type of radiation for left-sided breast cancer. It looks at a measure called the K-value index to help protect the heart during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer.
- You used a special breathing technique called DIBH during your radiation.
- Your radiation was a type called IMRT.
- You have finished your radiation treatment successfully.
- You had your radiation at a facility that participated in the Monaco study.

This study looks at how information about the heart may affect treatment decisions for people receiving radiation therapy for breast cancer. It aims to help reduce heart-related side effects from treatment.
This trial looks at how radiation for lung, esophageal, or breast cancer affects the heart. It may help doctors reduce heart damage in future patients.
This trial tests whether a special breathing technique (called Active Breathing Coordinator) can help keep radiation away from the heart while treating breast cancer with radiation therapy. If you can hold your breath briefly during treatment, this might lower the risk of heart damage.
This study watches how chemotherapy and HER2-targeted drugs affect your heart during early-stage breast cancer treatment. Researchers use heart scans to catch any changes early and understand how to protect heart health.
This study is comparing two types of radiation therapy—proton therapy and standard photon therapy—for people with left-sided breast cancer who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to find out which method best protects the heart while effectively treating the cancer.
This study looks at heart and blood-vessel side effects after modern radiation treatment for breast cancer, both soon after and years later. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to monitor heart health over time.
