Drs. Michael Guiou and Alex Coffman, radiation oncologists, explain that patients with left-sided breast cancer have a higher risk of heart disease because of the heart’s proximity to the radiation field. They detail how modern techniques like deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and prone positioning are now used to reduce this risk, a significant improvement over earlier methods that unintentionally increased heart exposure.
