Dose to cardiac substructures following contemporary radiotherapy for early breast cancer: evidence from 6,926 patients

Radiotherapy (RT) for early breast cancer (eBC) has been associated with increased long-term cardiovascular morbidity, primarily due to cardiac irradiation. Although advances in RT planning have substantially reduced mean heart dose (MHD), evidence suggests that dose to specific cardiac substructures may be more...
