Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Screening
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: October 8, 2020

Detailed Description

With the development of modern radiotherapy techniques, the dose-volume of heart irradiated could be kept in much low level. However, until now, the optimal dose-volume parameters for limiting heart irradiation, the optimal follow-up interval for cardiac safety after adjuvant radiotherapy, the optimal screening examinations and treatments for irradiation-induced cardiac toxicity are unclear. We designed this trial to find answer for above questions to establish rationalization proposal for prevention, treatment and follow-up for cardiac toxicity associated with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer.

Interventions

  • Other: limit heart dose
    • limit heart dose: Dmean≤6Gy,V30≤20%,V10≤50%

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Heart safety management
    • limit heart dose more frequent follow up of cardiac function professional management of cardiac toxicity
  • No Intervention: Control group
    • without any restrict heart dose limitation for RT Follow up of cardiac function Observation and without any special management of cardiac toxicity
