Summary

This study tests a newer type of radiation therapy that adjusts to daily changes in a patient's body shape. The goal is to safely use smaller treatment areas to reduce side effects like bladder and bowel problems. About 280 adults with pelvic cancers (prostate, bladder, rectal, anal, or gynecological) will take part. The study first checks if the new method is practical, then compares side effects with standard radiation.
