Summary

This study is testing whether advanced PET/MR scans and blood tests can spot early signs of heart and lung damage caused by radiation therapy for chest cancers. About 40 adults who will receive chest radiation will be followed with imaging and blood draws before and after treatment. The goal is to find better ways to predict and monitor these side effects, not to treat them.
