Gagliardi G, Constine LS, Moiseenko V, et al. · QUANTEC
DoseLab summary
The heart chapter of the 2010 QUANTEC supplement, covering pericarditis and long-term cardiac effects and the dose–volume relationships reported for them. A later letter in the same journal comments on its breast-cancer conclusions.
Why this is useful
The QUANTEC heart chapter: the dose–volume basis for cardiac limits, drawn largely from lymphoma and breast cohorts with long follow-up.
