Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a predictor of radiological effects on the heart. A total of 41 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were retrospectively investigated. The BNP levels were measured on the first day of CRT (pre‑CRT) and the last day of CRT (post‑CRT), and the median concentration of BNP and dosimetric parameters of the heart were calculated. The change ratio of BNP was calculated as follows: [(BNP post‑CRT) - (BNP pre‑CRT)]/(BNP pre‑CRT). The comparison of BNP pre‑CRT with post‑CRT was performed using a Wilcoxon signed‑rank test. The relationship between dosimetric parameters and change ratio was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient. The median levels of BNP of pre‑CRT and post‑CRT were 10 and 22 pg/ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.0001). Significant correlations (all P<0.05) were observed between the change ratio and mean dose, V5, V10, V20, and V30. Of the cohort, 14 patients developed acute‑to‑subacute cardiac events, such as pericardial effusion, cardiomegaly, acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, and a decreased ejection fraction. The change ratios of BNP, V5, V10, V20, and V30 were significantly higher in patients who experienced cardiac events compared with those who did not. The results of this study showed that BNP measurement, particularly the change ratio of BNP pre‑ and post‑CRT, may be a useful cardiac event predictor in addition to dosimetric parameters.
