This study compares three types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer to find which one controls the cancer best while causing the fewest side effects. About 500 men with prostate cancer are taking part. The goal is to improve treatment by testing different ways of delivering …

This study tests a high-precision radiation treatment called SBRT for people with high-risk localized pancreatic cancer. The main goal is to see if this treatment can stop the tumor from growing in the treated area for at least 12 months. The study involves 30 participants who ha…

This study compares two ways of giving radiation after breast cancer surgery to see which causes less fatigue and better quality of life. About 132 adults who had a mastectomy or lumpectomy will receive either standard or shorter-course radiation to the chest and lymph nodes. The…

This study compares a newer, more precise single dose of radiation to the standard single dose for people with cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the advanced technique provides longer-lasting relief from pain and other symptoms. About 100 adults with metastatic cancer…

This study tests whether a new imaging method can track lung tumors during radiation without needing to implant small markers (fiducials) around the tumor. It involves 5 adults with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases who are already receiving standard radiation. T…

This study tests a new technology that automatically adjusts the radiation beam to follow a lung tumor as it moves with breathing. Twenty adults with early-stage lung cancer or limited lung metastases will receive standard radiotherapy with this tracking system. The main goal is …

This study tests whether a special type of scan (called SPECT) can measure changes in liver function after radiation therapy for liver cancer. Twenty adults with liver cancer will get the scan before and after treatment. The goal is to see if this method can help doctors understa…

This study tests a method called KIM that uses gold markers to track prostate movement during radiation therapy. If the prostate moves more than 3mm, the radiation beam stops and is repositioned. The goal is to see if this technique is feasible in 100 men with prostate cancer rec…
