Spect Analysis of Cardiac Perfusion Changes After Whole Breast/Chest Wall Radiation Therapy With Active Breathing Coordinator
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active Breathing Coordinator for Breast Neoplasms and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 57 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cardiac perfusion changes have been seen after whole breast / chest wall irradiation for breast cancer. The Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) device theoretically decreases radiation exposure to the heart during radiation for breast cancer. In this trial cardiac perfusion changes or lack thereof will be quantified in women treated with radiation for breast cancer while using the ABC device. The control group of the study will consist of patients randomized to radiation therapy without the ABC device.

Interventions
A SPECT scan will be used to determine if the active breathing device reduces radiation toxicities.
