Cardiovascular complications of radiotherapy
https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2020-8-32-39
Abstract
Radiotherapy is an integral part of the cancer treatment, including with mediastinum, breast cancer. In this case, cardiovascular complications of the treatment are quite common. The long-term prognosis can be determined not only by the effectiveness of radiotherapy, but also by cardiovascular risks. A feature of cardiotoxicity of radiation therapy is the high probability of its occurrence in the delayed period of 3–30 years after treatment. The article highlights the results of published epidemiological studies of cardiotoxicity of radiotherapy, as well as the available screening algorithms for cardiovascular complications in patients who underwent radiotherapy. Own clinical observation of the early debut of coronary artery disease after combined chemoradiotherapy of diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is presented.
