Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Myocardial perfusion imaging in breast cancer patients treated with or without post-mastectomy radiotherapy.
To assess the occurrence and location of myocardial perfusion defects in left-sided mastectomized breast cancer patients, treated with or without postoperative radiotherapy according to the guidelines from the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG). ⋯ This study does not indicate that the described radiotherapy technique induces detectable coronary artery disease. However, the small number of patients does not allow strong conclusions to be drawn.
