ST2 levels increased and were associated with changes in left ventricular systolic function during a three-year follow-up after adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer

Objectives: To search for biomarkers of RT-induced cardiotoxicity, we studied the behavior of ST2 during RT and three years after RT, and the associations with echocardiographic changes. Materials and methods: We measured soluble ST2 (ng/ml) in serum samples from 63 patients receiving RT for early b...
