Marker-free X-ray guidance during lung radiotherapy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to guide lung radiation using X-ray images during treatment, without using implanted tracking markers for every step. It may help doctors target tumors more accurately while you receive external beam radiotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to receive external beam radiotherapy for lung cancer or a small number of lung metastases
- Your lung tumor is stage I non–small cell lung cancer, or up to 3 lung metastases
- A plan is made for a lung fiducial marker placement, and your doctor says it’s safe for you
- Your CT/MRI scans (including 4D-CT) are available before the marker procedure
- Your tumor size is between 1 cm and 5 cm, and it sits not more than 10 cm from the top of your diaphragm
- Your health and breathing are good enough (doctor rates your respiratory performance as acceptable, and activity level is ECOG 0–2)

This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
This study tests a type of high-precision radiation guided by MRI pictures to treat certain cancers. It may help doctors deliver radiation more accurately while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, but you must be able to safely complete an MRI scan and meet tumor-size and health requirements.
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
This study uses an AI tool to help plan how doctors deliver focused radiation to lung tumors. It may help make radiation targeting more precise and support treatment safety for people with primary or limited metastatic lung cancer.
This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer using a special MRI that shows how well different parts of your lungs work. The goal is to avoid damaging healthy lung areas, which might help people with prior lung cancer or other breathing problems like COPD.
