Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Participant in the SURVIVE registry * Signed informed consent form for PROACT * Histological diagnosis of any cancer type (patients with treated and clinically stable brain metastasis are acceptable) * Scheduled to receive anti-cancer therapy (radiation therapy is permitted) Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) * Unable to comply with study investigations (in the judgment of the investigator) * Life expectancy less than 1 year * Note: If a patient develops a temporary contraindication (e.g. temporary tissue expanders in breast cancer patients) after the baseline MRI, follow up MRIs will be discontinued for safety for the duration in which the patient has the contraindication. However, once the patient is no longer contraindicated to receiving MRIs, the study schedule may resume with their next scheduled MRI time point from the date of enrollment. Therefore, some time points may be skipped during the patient's enrollment in the study. Also, if a patient needs a repeat MRI at any time point for any reason (i.e. panic attack during the MRI causing them to not be able to continue, unreadable images, etc.), we may repeat the MRI as long as the patient is willing.

  1. description
    * After consenting to the PROACT study, patients will undergo a baseline MRI to determine their risk stratification for the study. This baseline MyoStrain® MRI must demonstrate 2 or more segments measuring \>-10% or 9 or more segments \>-17% for entrance into the study as the Higher Risk Group * The unblinded treatment arm will enhance patient management by augmenting standard of care with serial MyoStrain® monitoring of the impact of cancer therapy on myocardial function. * Higher Risk unblinded patients will continue to undergo MyoStrain® MRI testing, regardless of study arm, at 1 month (+1 week), 3 months (+ 1 week), 6 months (+1 week), 12 months (+ 30 days), 24 months (+30 days), and 36 months (+30 days) after the baseline visit. * In addition to the MyoStrain® testing, patients will also be asked to complete a brief patient satisfaction questionnaire at each PROACT time point.

masking Description
Patients will be classified based on baseline segmental MyoStrain Fast-SENC strain testing, into lower and higher risk groups. The higher risk group will be randomized with half blinded and half unblinded to intramyocardial strain in terms of assessing cardiotoxicity incidence and management. Physicians will have knowledge of MyoStrain intramyocardial strain and cardiac MRI information in the unblinded group to augment standard of care in detecting and managing cardiotoxicity. Physicians will not have access to or knowledge of intramyocardial strain and cardiac MRI data, except 4 standard cardiac measures, for patients in the blinded group.

Full study description
brief Summary
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of an intramyocardial strain analysis package with cardiac MRI to assist in the early detection and management of cardiotoxicity from therapeutics used to treat cancer.
detailed Description
The primary purpose of the PROACT study is to test the accuracy of MyoStrain® to detect cardiotoxicity in patients on high risk cancer therapy. After undergoing baseline MRI and meeting eligibility criteria, patients will be further randomized to an unblinded arm (MyoStrain® measured and available to the treatment team) and a blinded arm (MyoStrain® measured but not available to the treatment team). This randomization will aid in an exploratory aim of testing the feasibility of MyoStrain® to guide cardioprotective therapy in the unblinded vs blinded arms. However, as all patients will have MyoStrain® measured, all patients (both treatment arms) will be combined for testing the primary outcome measure.
