Chest radiotherapy (XRT) plays a crucial role in the treatment of a multitude of cancers including breast, lung, esophageal, and lymphoma. Although XRT enhances cancer survival rates, it may also expose healthy bystander tissues to radiation, potentially leading to severe complications.

Inflammation is a key driver of heart disease, specifically coronary artery disease. I have covered this topic previously here , but it is clear that inflammation plays a major role in the initiation and progression of coronary artery disease, and the inflammatory biomarker hsCRP is tightly connected to this process.
