  Purpose
MEDIRAD-BRACE aims to determine the relationship between 3D dose distributions in cardiac structures and the risk of acute coronary events (ACE) and other cardiac complications in breast cancer (BC) patients to develop and externally validate multivariable Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) models to assess the risk of ACE in individual patients based on cardiac dose metrics in the first 10 years after BC radiotherapy.

Condition Intervention
Breast Cancer Female Acute Coronary Events Cardiac Complications Radiation: Radiotherapy

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Retrospective

Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date: November 2019 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
