Trends in Cardiac Mortality in Patients with Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The present study describes trends in cardiac specific mortality (CSM) for patients with stage IIIA/ IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing definitive radiation therapy (RT) between the years of 1988-2012 and comparing CSM between patients undergoing RT to the left lung to those undergoing to the right lung. On multivariate analysis, between 1993-2008, patients with left sided lung cancer had worse CSM than patients with right sided disease.
