Heart Impact Study for Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (a very early form of breast cancer).
- You are scheduled to have radiation therapy (radiotherapy).
- You are 35 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at calcium deposits seen in breast arteries during a routine mammogram to see if they can help predict heart disease risk in women aged 55 to 65. It may help doctors find heart risk earlier without extra tests.
This trial tests whether common heart medicines (statins or ACE-inhibitors) can protect the heart during cancer radiation therapy. It is for adults who are about to start chest radiation and have not taken these drugs before.
This study looks at how breast cancer medicines affect the heart. It may help doctors better prevent, spot early, and manage heart side effects from trastuzumab and/or anthracycline chemotherapy.
This study tests a method to predict and warn about heart damage from a common type of breast cancer chemotherapy. If you have HER2-positive breast cancer and will receive anthracycline drugs, this trial may help monitor your heart health.
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 trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
