Looking at treatment choices and quality of life during radiation therapy
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how people feel about their decision to have radiation therapy, and how it affects their quality of life. By answering questionnaires, you can help doctors better support patients in similar situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be scheduled for radiation therapy (radiotherapy) as part of your cancer care.
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You should not have had radiation therapy to the same body area before.
- You must be able to complete questionnaires about your quality of life and how you feel about your treatment choices.
- You should not have conditions like Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis (these can increase risks from radiation).
- You should not be participating in other studies that could interfere with this one.
