放射性心脏病的研究进展

Research progress of radiation-induced heart disease

放射治疗是胸部肿瘤综合治疗的重要手段之一,在杀灭肿瘤的同时,放疗也可以造成放射性心脏病（radiation-induced heart disease,RIHD）,严重者影响患者生活质量,甚至危及生命。随着肿瘤综合治疗手段提高,患者生存时间延长,RIHD的临床研究报告日益增多,RIHD成为胸部肿瘤治疗的重要并发症。虽然现代放疗技术以及新的治疗原则的应用可降低RIHD的发生,其危害仍不容忽视。本文就RIHD的研究进展进行综述。

Radiation therapy is one of the important comprehensive treatment strategies for thoracic neoplasms, but it also can cause radiation-induced heart disease（RIHD） which can affect the quality of life and even endanger the lives of patients while killing tumor. With the development of comprehensive treatment for cancer, the patients achieve better survival outcomes. And the study reported about RIHD increased as well, which made RIHD became an important complication of thoracic neoplasms＇ treatment. Though modern radiotherapy techniques and new therapeutic principles have significantly made the incidence of RIHD decreased, the harm of RIHD should not be ignored. In this article, we review the research progress of RIHD.
