MRI-guided radiation for head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy using an MRI machine to guide the treatment for head and neck cancers. It may help patients who are not candidates for standard curative treatment due to age, health issues, or advanced disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with head or neck cancer (either primary or spread from another site)
- You are not able to receive standard radiation with curative intent because of age, health problems, or advanced disease
- You have at least one head or neck tumor that can be treated with this special radiation
- If you are on other cancer treatments, you can stop them at least 10 days before and after this radiation
- You do not have metal implants or other reasons that prevent MRI, severe claustrophobia, or kidney problems (GFR below 40)

This trial checks whether it’s practical and safe to deliver radiation treatment using real-time MRI guidance, with the process supported online. It may help patients whose doctors recommend radiation by testing a modern way to plan and deliver treatment more precisely.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery for people with head or neck tumors. It may be an option for those who need radiation or chemoradiation as their main treatment or after surgery.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy, called adaptive radiation boost, for people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can better target the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial tests a special camera system (SGRT) to help you stay still during head and neck radiation. It may make treatment more accurate and comfortable by using your own breathing to guide positioning.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. By using a special PET scan to guide where higher radiation doses are given, doctors hope to improve treatment while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is not early-stage and who will receive standard radiation therapy.
This study collects MRI scans and treatment data from patients getting MRI-guided radiotherapy for certain cancers. It aims to improve radiation treatment planning using imaging and biological information.
