Lung MRI for staging tumors and nodes
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses advanced lung MRI scans to get more detail on tumors and lymph nodes. It may help people with non-small cell lung cancer to get a clearer picture of their cancer stage without extra radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor that is at least 2 cm across on a CT scan.
- You have had a biopsy of the tumor, and it was big enough to test the PDL-1 level.
- Your staging CT scan showed that doctors are uncertain about the lymph nodes but clear about no distant spread.
- You don't have any metal implants or severe allergy that would make an MRI unsafe.

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 study tests new imaging methods to make lung cancer screening safer and more accurate. If you are already getting a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening, you may also receive an MRI to help better understand any lung spots (nodules) found.
This trial looks at whether doing an MRI scan of the brain for people with stage IV lung cancer helps in their care. The goal is to find brain issues early (if present) so treatment decisions can be made sooner.
This study uses a special MRI scan to better understand suspicious lung nodules found on CT scans. It may help you and your doctor make a more informed decision about next steps, without needing a biopsy right away.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy for advanced lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It uses MRI scans to guide and adjust the radiation dose, which may help target the tumor more precisely and reduce side effects.
This study tests whether using an MRI combined with a special type of CT scan can effectively monitor lung nodules over time. It may help people at high risk for lung cancer avoid repeated radiation from regular CT scans.
