Self-guided breathing help during MRI-guided radiotherapy for moving tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are starting MRI-guided radiotherapy on a Linac MRI for a tumor that moves with breathing
- Your tumor is in an area like the pancreas, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, lungs, or nearby lymph nodes
- Your treatment plan uses a tracking system that can detect your lesion
- You can safely have MRI-guided radiotherapy (no MRI-incompatible pacemaker/metal, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and no seizure disorders that make MRI unsafe)
- You do not have vision problems that would stop the study materials, and you can understand/follow instructions (no cognitive disorders)

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.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how tumor motion affects radiation therapy planning in lung cancer. It is for patients who are starting radiation treatment, possibly with chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
This trial studies a way of planning and delivering radiation using MRI pictures to help target tumors more accurately. It may benefit people by improving how radiation is aligned, and it’s being tested for safety and effectiveness compared with the usual CT-based planning.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how your lung tumor moves during breathing. The information may help doctors plan more precise radiation treatment (SBRT) for lung cancers located in the lower part of the lung.
This study checks whether a new MRI-guided radiation machine (MR-Linac) can be used safely and properly for people receiving radiation therapy. You might help the team confirm it works in real-world patients by being treated with this MR-Linac setup.
This trial tests whether doing daily MRI scans during planned radiotherapy can help guide treatment. It may benefit people by improving how accurately the team sees the target area each day.
