Heart images could aid early cancer detection
An American study has found that MRI scans of the heart can help predict the risk of developing certain types of cancer years before the disease appears, by detecting early changes in the heart's structure and movement. The results indicated that increased muscle mass in the left ventricle is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer in women, while reduced movement of the left atrium raises the likelihood of colon and rectal cancers. The study suggests a possible biological link between heart health and tumor development, although a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.
