Cardiac risk test using breast cancer radiotherapy scans to guide decisions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter interventional study uses routine radiotherapy planning CT scans to measure coronary artery calcifications and communicates the associated cardiovascular risk to patients. The goal is to see how this information affects patients’ understanding and decisions about their treatment. The trial involves women with breast cancer (or DCIS) who are planned for radiotherapy and are 35 or older. Results will inform whether incorporating CAC assessment into planning improves patient-centered care and decision quality. No results are reported yet since the study design is to observe the impact of this communication strategy.
