Summary
This study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is testing new ways to use MRI and CT scans to improve radiation therapy planning and tumor response checks. About 837 adults, including healthy volunteers and cancer patients, will undergo extra scans over time. The goal is to see if these advanced imaging methods can make radiation treatment more precise, but the study does not change the patient's current treatment plan.
