Doha: Personalized radiation dose for breast cancer can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Director of Research Computing and Professor at Qatar Foundation (QF) partner Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMU-Q), Dr. Othmane Bouhali.
Cancer treatment through radiotherapy has significantly increased the number of cancer survivors, but it has also increased the chances of these patients going on to develop cardiovascular disease – particularly in the case of breast cancer.
“Global statistics say in the past 20-25 years, a significant fraction of women who were treated for breast cancer using radiotherapy have gone on to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) within 5-10 years of receiving their first dose,” said Dr. Bouhali.
