Tiny beacons light the way for more precise lung cancer radiation
NCT ID NCT02111681
Summary
This study tested a new method to make radiation therapy for lung cancer more accurate. Small beacon devices were implanted near the tumor to track its exact location while patients held their breath during treatment. Researchers wanted to see if this approach was practical and safe, and if it helped deliver radiation more precisely to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue.
