Challenges in Meeting Dose Constraints During Left Postmastectomy Radiotherapy in a Patient With a Leadless Pacemaker - PubMed

Challenges in Meeting Dose Constraints During Left Postmastectomy Radiotherapy in a Patient With a Leadless Pacemaker - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41458719/

A 60-year-old woman with a 20-year history of cardiac pacing presented with node-positive left breast cancer and underwent total mastectomy. Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) was indicated; however, because a subcutaneous pacemaker...

Case report highlights challenges achieving pacemaker dose constraints during left postmastectomy radiotherapy, showing that leadless pacemaker implantation alone may not prevent excessive radiation exposure without careful treatment planning.

How to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases in people living with breast cancer? Recent advances - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41358433/

Breast cancer treatment has improved in recent decades, meaning that, in more economically developed countries, people living with breast cancer (PLBC) and breast cancer survivors (BCS) face a decreasing mortality...

Breast cancer survivors face heightened cardiovascular risk from shared disease mechanisms and treatment toxicities. Emerging prevention strategies, early detection of subclinical injury, and long-term surveillance are essential to reduce CTR-CVT burden.
