Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed caridac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with early stage esophageal cancer before and six months after curative mediastinal radiotherapy (RT) to detect RT-induced myocardial damage. Between January 2013 and March 2015, Twenty-five patients were enrolled in this study. All patients performed the scheduled chemoradiotherapy without severe side effects. Twenty patients underwent cardiac MRI before and six months after RT. At the examination of MRI six months after RT, none of the patients had symptoms. We intend to report the detailed results about RT-induced myocardial damage at a later date.
