Abstract
Non communicable diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Hence it is not infrequent to find cancer patients where the primary oncological management has to be modified to take into account the coexisting chronic diseases. We hereby share our experience in treating a patient with carcinoma lung and having an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This patient was treated with radiation and concurrent chemotherapy.
