This study compares three different radiation treatment approaches for prostate cancer to determine which provides the best balance of cancer control and manageable side effects. Researchers are testing whether shorter, more intense radiation courses work as well as or better tha…

This study is testing a new technology to make prostate cancer radiation therapy more precise. It tracks the prostate in real-time during treatment and automatically pauses the radiation beam if the prostate moves more than 3mm. The goal is to see if this 'gating' technique is pr…

This study is testing whether new technology can make radiation therapy for lung cancer more precise. It aims to adjust the radiation beam in real-time to follow a tumor's movement as a patient breathes. The research involves 20 patients to see if this tracking method is practica…

This study is testing a focused, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT for people with high-risk pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach can better control the main tumor, make surgery possible for more patients, and improve survival. Partici…

This study is testing whether a more precise, single-dose radiation treatment provides longer-lasting pain relief than the standard single-dose treatment for people with advanced cancer. It involves 100 patients with cancer that has spread, who are already recommended for standar…

This study is comparing two different schedules of radiation therapy given after surgery for breast cancer. It aims to see if a shorter 3.5-week schedule causes less fatigue and fewer side effects than the standard 5.5-week schedule, while being just as effective. The trial invol…

This study is testing a new technology designed to track lung tumors during radiation therapy without needing to implant physical markers near the tumor. The goal is to see if this 'markerless' tracking is accurate enough to guide radiation beams in real time. Five patients with …

This small, early-stage study is testing whether a special type of nuclear medicine scan can accurately measure how radiation therapy affects liver function. It involves 20 adults with liver cancer who are receiving radiation treatment. Researchers will perform the new scan befor…
