New radiation technique aims to protect heart in thoracic cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07132918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a newer, MRI-guided radiation method (MRgART) is gentler on the heart than standard radiation (LINAC) for people with lung, esophageal, or other chest cancers. About 60 adults will receive radiation and have their heart function checked via MRI and blood tests. The goal is to see if the new approach reduces heart damage.
