This study compares two treatments for brain swelling (radiation necrosis) that can occur after radiation therapy for brain tumors or metastases. 408 patients will receive either the standard steroid treatment (dexamethasone) or an alternative drug called bevacizumab, given intra…

This study aims to make repeat high-dose radiation therapy safer for people whose lung cancer has returned or who develop a new tumor in the chest. Researchers will follow 500 patients in Denmark to collect detailed data on side effects and survival. The goal is to create better …

This early-stage study is testing if lisinopril, a common blood pressure medication, can prevent urinary side effects in men receiving radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Researchers will give the drug to about 30 men during and after their radiation therapy to find the best…
