Understanding Long-Term Effects After Radiation Therapy
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study follows patients who have received radiation therapy to learn about long-term health effects and how the disease progresses over time. By tracking your health over the years, researchers hope to better understand and help future patients manage side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old
- You have received radiation therapy in the past
- You have a primary care doctor in your community who can coordinate your care
- You are able to give informed consent (understand and agree to participate)
- You are not currently enrolled in another research study at the NIH
- Your doctor and the study team believe this follow-up care is right for you

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects blood and urine samples from patients receiving radiation therapy to understand how the body responds to treatment. It may help researchers improve radiation therapy in the future.
This study follows people with cancer to better understand which treatments cause certain side effects when radiation is combined with targeted (molecular) medicines. Your participation may help doctors predict and manage side effects more safely in the future.
This study looks at how radiation treatment effects and measurements can change within a treatment session and across different sessions. It may help doctors improve how radiation therapy is planned and delivered.
This study looks at how a tumor’s immune system responds when you receive radiotherapy. It involves taking a planned pre-treatment biopsy so researchers can study immune and tumor changes and see if radiotherapy affects them.
This study collects information about how you feel and how treatment is delivered while you receive radiotherapy using the RefleXion Medical radiotherapy system. It may help doctors improve care and better understand what affects quality of life during treatment.
This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
