Heart dose study for left-sided breast cancer radiation
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the heart dose from radiation therapy in people who have already completed left-sided breast cancer treatment with a special breathing technique (DIBH) and IMRT. It aims to better understand how to protect the heart during radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have finished radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer.
- Your radiation therapy must have used the DIBH (deep inspiration breath hold) breathing technique.
- Your radiation therapy must have been delivered using IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy).

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 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 study looks at how radiation therapy affects the heart in people being treated for lung, esophageal, or breast cancer. By watching the heart during and after treatment, researchers hope to find ways to lower heart side effects.
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for left breast cancer: one using a breath-holding technique to protect the heart, and another without it. The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for women who have had surgery.
This study tests an app that helps women with left-sided breast cancer practice a special breathing technique (DIBH) at home before starting radiation therapy. The goal is to make it easier to use this technique during treatment, which may help protect the heart.
This trial checks how well a breathing technique (deep inspiration breath-hold) works when you have radiation to the lymph nodes in your chest. It looks at whether holding your breath during treatment helps protect your heart and lungs.
