This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict side effects in patients with pleural mesothelioma who receive high-dose radiation. If you've had chemotherapy and are getting or have gotten high-dose radiation to the whole chest, researchers want to see if they can identify who is at higher risk of side effects.
This study follows people with prostate cancer who receive radiation to understand what side effects and quality-of-life changes happen over time. It may help improve standard follow-up care by better tracking radiation-related toxicity.
This Phase 2 study compares a one-time, high-dose radiation treatment (SBRT) with the usual, shorter-course palliative radiation. The goal is to see which approach better relieves symptoms from metastatic (spread) cancer.
This study looks at sexual side effects after pelvic radiation for certain cancers of the female reproductive organs. It may help improve how these problems are understood and managed after treatment.
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation to shrink large tumors and relieve pain in people with advanced cancer. It aims to improve quality of life by targeting up to three large tumors with a single treatment.
This trial tests a type of radiation to help relieve symptoms like pain, bleeding, or other discomfort from tumors in the pelvic area. It is for people whose cancer has spread or cannot be cured, and who are not able to have stronger treatments.
