Brief Summary:
This is a pilot study to determine if there are changes in heart function following completion of radiation therapy for breast cancer as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) scans. Additional purposes of this study are to assess cardiac side effects from radiation treatment, evaluate cardiac MRI changes by radiation technique, and compare quality of life questionnaires.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Breast Cancer Procedure: Cardiac magnetic resonance (cardiac MRI)

Detailed Description:

As part of this study, participants will have a cardiac MRI at baseline and a follow-up cardiac MRI within 1 year after completion of standard radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer. The cardiac MRI scans will be evaluated to determine if there are changes in cardiac function within 1 year after radiation treatment.

Patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire before and after treatment that asks about their health and any symptoms they may be having.

Physical exams and any other standard of care service or treatment will be at the discretion of the treating physician.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of participants with changes in cardiac function. [ Time Frame: 1 year after completion of radiation therapy ]
    A change in cardiac function may include shifts from baseline measures of LV mass, strain, ejection fraction, and late gadolinium enhancement.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of patients with serious cardiac side effects. [ Time Frame: 1 year after completion of radiation therapy ]
    Includes myocardial infarction, valve disorder, congestive heart failure, and angina.

  2. Mean quality of life score. [ Time Frame: 1 year after radiation treatment ]
    Comparison of baseline and post treatment quality of life questionnaires completed by participants.
