Frontiers in oncology, 11/2022, Letnik: 12Journal Article
It is our privilege to present 11 articles in this Frontiers Oncology Research Topic on "cardiotoxicity induced by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy after cancer treatment". The therapeutic management of cancer has progressed over the last 10 years and has led to a significant increase in patient survival rates. Radiotherapy (RT) is classically applied in multiple fractions administered over several weeks to kill cancer while sparing normal tissue as much as possible. However, the corollary is the development of delayed toxicities that alter the quality of life of patients. Chemo- and/or RT-induced cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as a worrisome side effect in patients with thoracic cancers.
