This study is looking at how radiation therapy used to treat advanced lung cancer might affect the heart. Doctors will use special heart imaging (cardiac MRI) and heart rhythm tests (ECG) to check your heart health before, during, and after your cancer treatment to catch any problems early.
When radiation therapy is used to treat advanced lung cancer, it can sometimes damage the heart, but doctors don't always look for this damage. This study exists to understand how often heart problems occur and to find them as early as possible so they can be treated.

You will have heart imaging (MRI) and heart rhythm tests (ECG) before your cancer treatment begins. Depending on which group you join, you'll have these same tests repeated at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment, or at least once between 12–24 months after treatment ends. Each visit takes a few hours and involves lying in an MRI scanner and having electrode patches placed on your chest for the heart rhythm test.
