A Prospective Cross-Sectional Pilot Study Investigated the Late Cardiac Toxicity of Neo-Adjuvant Chemo Radiation in Oesophageal Cancer Survivors

Ann Jose

Despite an increase in oesophageal cancer cure rates since the development of neoadjuvant chemo radiation (nCRT), there is mounting evidence of treatment-related cardiac damage, the exact causes of which are yet unknown. The main goal of this study was to compare surgical resection plus nCRT to surgical resection alone in EC patients in order to detect (subclinical) cardiac dysfunction.
