MRI-guided ultrasound radiation for breast and chest cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy using MRI imaging and ultrasound to make the radiation more targeted and potentially safer. If you have chest-wall or breast cancer and are already scheduled for radiation, this approach might offer a more precise treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (including rare types) at stage IIA to IV.
- You have already been recommended for radiation therapy by your cancer care team.
- You do not have a serious heart condition, bleeding disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can lie still for the procedure and communicate with the care team.
- Your kidney function is normal (not on dialysis and eGFR above 30).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to combine radiation therapy with ultrasound and tiny bubbles to treat breast cancer that has spread to the chest wall or is advanced. It aims to make radiation more effective and safer.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound measurement can help doctors choose the right chemotherapy plan during treatment for breast cancer. It may help avoid under- or over-treatment by adjusting care based on the ultrasound results.
This trial tests a focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
This early study tests whether a device that uses focused ultrasound (guided by MRI) can be safely used during surgery for women with invasive breast cancer. It mainly looks at feasibility—whether the treatment can be delivered as planned and is safe.
This study tests a faster, targeted type of radiation for early breast cancer, using real-time MRI to help plan and guide treatment. It may help deliver the same cancer-fighting effect while limiting radiation to the rest of the breast.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
