Abstract

The article discusses a study that suggests there may be no safe threshold dose of radiation to cardiac substructures in children with cancer, as any dose could increase the risk of later cardiac diseases. It also mentions the importance of considering cardiac substructure doses in radiation treatment planning and survivorship care for pediatric patients, especially with the advancements in radiation techniques.
