The Cardiovascular Effects of Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy

Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy affecting women worldwide [1]. Adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) of the breast plays a vital role in BC treatment and has been shown to improve overall survival [2]. Due to increased survivorship, the cardiac sequelae that develop due to BC treatments have become more apparent. Radiation therapy, a common BC treatment, exposes the heart to radiation due to its presence in the irradiation field. Although modern RT techniques aim to reduce cardiac radiation exposure, research suggests the persistence of cardiac damage. This scoping review aims to establish the types of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that manifest post‐RT, and create a timeline for early radiation‐induced cardiotoxicity detection and surveillance.
