New workflow aims to prevent radiation errors in cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT07282444

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a new communication workflow called CORRECT that helps radiologists and radiation oncologists work together more effectively when planning radiation therapy for lung and head-and-neck cancers. About 194 patients will be involved, and doctors will use a shared system to review and improve treatment targets. The goal is to see if this process is practical and can reduce mistakes that might lead to cancer returning or unnecessary side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Collaborative Oncology between Radiologists and Radiation oncologists for the Evaluation of Contoured Targets (CORRECT) workflow

What this could lead to

If successful, this workflow could help reduce errors in radiation therapy planning, potentially lowering the risk of cancer recurrence or side effects.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. It tests a communication process, not a drug or device, so direct patient benefits are uncertain and may not change outcomes.
