COVID-19 and lung side effects from radiation in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at how COVID-19 infection might affect lung inflammation caused by radiation therapy in breast cancer patients. If you are being treated for breast cancer with radiation and have had or may get COVID-19, this study can help understand these risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
