ABSTRACT
The purpose of this invited review is to discuss the most recent and relevant outcome studies assessing the risk of late cardiac toxicity in women treated with radiotherapy for breast cancer and to describe the evidence-based technical factors associated with late cardiac toxicity. This review will also discuss the common radiation techniques for reducing radiation dose to the heart, which will lead to better outcomes and lower rates of late toxicity that can cause morbidity and mortality in women who have been cured of their breast cancer.
