Population

Patients undergoing radiotherapy for thoracic tumors (such as breast cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and mediastinal lymphoma) at risk of radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis.

Intervention

Preventive strategies including advanced radiotherapy techniques (3D-CRT, IMRT, respiratory gating, DIBH) and pharmacological agents (bosentan, pentoxifylline, ACE inhibitors, traditional Chinese medicine).

This review summarizes the complex pathogenesis of radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis and highlights current and emerging strategies for its prevention.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Highlights the need for vigilant cardiac monitoring after thoracic radiotherapy; leaves open the clinical efficacy of targeted pharmacological.
