8,000-Patient study aims to sharpen cancer radiation with Real-Time MRI
NCT ID NCT04075305
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a large registry that will follow about 8,000 cancer patients who receive radiation therapy using a special machine called an MR-Linac, which combines an MRI scanner with a radiation beam. The goal is to learn how well this technology works for different cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, and brain tumors. Researchers will track survival, tumor control, side effects, and quality of life to improve future treatments.
