Liver size swings may throw off cancer radiation accuracy

NCT ID NCT06355895

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the liver's natural size changes throughout the day and after eating can impact the planning of a precise type of radiation therapy (SBRT) for upper abdominal cancers. Researchers will measure liver volume differences in 17 participants to see if these variations could lead to errors in treatment delivery. The goal is to improve the accuracy and safety of radiation therapy.
