• Cardiotoxicity is a common adverse effect of cancer therapy; therefore, its prompt detection could improve patient outcomes. • Pooled MRI-derived myocardial extracellular volume was higher in patients who underwent cardiotoxic cancer therapy than in those who did not (28.44% versus 25.23%, p = .003). • MRI-derived myocardial extracellular volume represents a potential early biomarker of cancer therapy cardiotoxicity.
