Sharing radiation plans between doctors to improve lung and head and neck cancer care
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way for radiation doctors and radiologists to share treatment plans. It aims to improve how radiation targets are chosen for patients with lung or head and neck cancer. Participants will receive their usual radiation treatment while doctors follow the new sharing method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Planned radiation therapy with intent to cure, alone or with other treatments.

This study is testing whether a centralized support program helps people get regular lung cancer screening. If you are at risk for lung cancer and have had a screening CT scan at one of the participating health centers, this study may help improve care.
This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
This trial tests two ways to plan radiation treatment for prostate cancer: one using a computer program (RapidPlan) and the other using human experts. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method works as well or better.
This study tests a new learning tool to help doctors who are training in radiation oncology improve their skills in planning breast cancer treatment. It is not a treatment trial for patients, but rather a pilot program for the doctors themselves.
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
This Phase 2 trial tests a specific, shorter type of focused radiation to help relieve symptoms from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It compares two radiation timing/planning approaches to see which better improves comfort and quality of life.
