Test a medical tattoo for radiation alignment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if a medical tattoo can replace standard marker tattoos for lining up radiation treatments. It aims to make the process safer and more comfortable for cancer patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have cancer and will receive radiation therapy
- You are willing to have a medical tattoo for treatment alignment
- Your skin where the tattoo goes is healthy and not infected
- You do not have a history of severe scarring (hypertrophic scars)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant

This trial tests a medical tattoo called BIOCHROMADERM® for women or men who need a nipple-areola tattoo after breast reconstruction surgery. It checks if the tattoo is safe and works well.
This trial tests a simple method: marking the tumor with a small tattoo before chemotherapy. The tattoo helps surgeons find the exact spot for lumpectomy after the tumor shrinks, so you can keep more of your breast.
This study tests whether small disappearing ink marks can be used to guide daily radiation treatments for breast cancer. It may help make radiation more precise and comfortable.
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 trial tests a special radiation device (DaRT) placed directly into skin cancer tumors. It is designed for patients with weakened immune systems (immunocompromised) who have a single skin cancer lesion on the skin (not spread elsewhere).
This trial tests a radiation-emitting device placed near the tumor to treat certain malignant skin cancers that can be fully covered. It may help shrink or control the cancer at the skin site where the device is applied.
