Position monitoring system for chest and upper abdomen radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that watches your body position during radiation therapy for cancers in the chest or upper abdomen (like lung, heart, breast, pancreas, liver). The goal is to make sure the radiation beam hits the right spot by adjusting for your breathing or breath-holding. If you are already getting this type of therapy, the device may make treatment safer and more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for radiation therapy in an area like the lungs, heart, breast, pancreas, liver, or adrenal glands.
- Your doctor says your treatment needs breathing control, either during free breathing or when you hold your breath.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You do not have a known allergy to medical grade tape or adhesives.
- You can understand and sign a consent form approved by the ethics board.

This trial tests whether a special breathing technique (called Active Breathing Coordinator) can help keep radiation away from the heart while treating breast cancer with radiation therapy. If you can hold your breath briefly during treatment, this might lower the risk of heart damage.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how tumor motion affects radiation therapy planning in lung cancer. It is for patients who are starting radiation treatment, possibly with chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
This trial tests whether holding your breath during imaging scans can help doctors aim radiation therapy more precisely at upper abdominal cancers while protecting nearby healthy organs. The goal is to reduce side effects by improving treatment accuracy.
This study tests whether a self-guidance approach for breathing can improve radiotherapy sessions when the tumor moves during breathing and is treated with an MRI-guided machine. It may help make treatments more accurate and easier to follow during each session.
This trial tests a new device that helps control your breathing during radiation therapy for early-stage lung cancer. By keeping your lungs still during treatment, the radiation is more accurate and may reduce side effects.
This study looks at how a person's body composition (muscle and fat) affects how well they stay still during daily radiation sessions. The goal is to improve treatment accuracy and reduce side effects for cancer patients.
