Trial Identification
Brief Title: Cardiac Rehabilitation for Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy for Thoracic Cancers
Official Title: A Pilot Trial of Cardiac Rehabilitation for Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy for Thoracic Cancers
Study ID: NCT04072393
Interventions
Study Description
Brief Summary: Other than optimizing medical management of cardiac risk factors, and reducing radiotherapy (RT) dose to the heart, there currently exist no interventions to mitigate or reverse the adverse cardiac effects of RT. Aerobic exercise has been demonstrated to improve patient quality of life, cardiac outcomes, and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving cardiotoxic systemic therapies, but the effects of aerobic exercise on patients at high risk for radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) is unknown. In addition, home-based cardiac rehabilitation has not been tested in patients with thoracic cancers.
