Abstract
Chemoradiation play crucial role in the treatment of esophageal cancer.3DCRT and IMRT are two widely used techniques in radiotherapy .Heart ,lung and spinal cord are major organs at risk in radiotherapy of esophageal cancer.RIHD (Radiation induced heart disease) includes a spectrum of cardiovascular complications ranging from subclinical asymptomatic microscopic changes in heart to overt heart failure.The present study is aimed to evaluate acute cardiac toxicity in patients treated with 3DCRT versus IMRT.
