Calculating which cardiac substructure accepting with the highest radiation dose by conventional radiotherapy, then to investigate the relationship between the changes of global longitudinal strain or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac biomarkers and the certain cardiac substructure for stage N2-3 non-small cell lung cancer
All patients receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The prescription dose of PTV is 60-70Gy,Troponin I, troponin T, hypersensitive troponin, brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP are detected before radiotherapy, at the end of radiotherapy (day 15), at the end of radiotherapy and at 1 month after radiotherapy. Echocardiography was performed before radiotherapy, in the middle of radiotherapy (day 15) and at the end of radiotherapy to obtain global longitudinal strain value. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is used to measure the blood flow of the anterior descending coronary artery before and at the end of radiotherapy.
Study Type

Troponin I, troponin T, hypersensitive troponin, brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP are detected for cardiac biomarkers;echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are used to measure the functions of heart and vessels.
Concentration of Troponin I, troponin T, hypersensitive troponin, brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP
These levels are measured with the Siemens ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay System, normal ranges of Troponin I, troponin T, hypersensitive troponin, brain natriuretic peptide and NT-proBNP are 0-0.03 ng/mL, 0-0.01 ng/mL, 0-0.04 ng/mL, 0-100 pg/mL, and 0-125pg/mL respectively
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Global longitudinal strain value
global longitudinal strain value is obtained by offline analysis of 2-dimensional Echocardiography, reduction of more than 15% in left ventricular systole suggests some degree of cardiotoxicity by European Society of Cardiology 2016
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
The average flow velocity of the anterior descending coronary artery
obtained by phase contrast magnetic resonance arteriography of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
