- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which investigated whether the mortality from heart disease, a maniifestation of intercurrent disease after postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), has decreased over time for patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The multivariate analysis of the study reveals that PORT use was associated with an increase in heart disease mortality. The study also suggests that the decline may be associated to improvements in the treatment planning and delivery of thoracic radiotherapy.
