NCT ID NCT05775939

Summary

This study is testing a special type of heart scan to see if radiation therapy for lung or esophageal cancer causes damage to the heart. Researchers will scan patients' hearts before, during, and after their cancer radiation treatment to look for changes. The goal is to learn if these scans can help doctors predict and monitor heart-related side effects from radiation.
