Beacon-Guided Breath-Hold radiation tested for lung cancer
NCT ID NCT02111681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether small devices called Calypso beacons, placed near lung tumors, can help doctors track the tumor's position during radiation while the patient holds their breath. 48 adults with lung cancer took part. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and to measure how much the tumor moves during treatment.
