Radiation re-treatment for cancer that has returned
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies giving a second course of radiation to people whose cancer has come back or spread. It aims to see if more radiation can help control the cancer and improve quality of life.

This study tests whether giving a second course of radiation to the chest (called retreatment) can control lung cancer that has come back or a new cancer that started there. People who have already had radiation to their chest and are healthy enough for more may be eligible.
This trial tests a second course of radiotherapy for men whose prostate cancer has come back in the prostate after an earlier course of radiotherapy. The goal is to check how well the body tolerates this retreatment, especially regarding side effects, and to see if it can help control the cancer.
This study tests a new way to plan a second course of radiation for cancer that has returned or spread to a few places. It uses special imaging software to make the treatment more precise and aims to improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving a second course of radiation therapy (called reirradiation) can safely treat lung cancer that has returned after earlier radiation. The goal is to control the cancer in the chest and see how well patients do with this repeat treatment.
This study tests a more personalized way to plan “re-irradiation,” meaning giving radiation again in an area that was already treated before. It aims to better calculate organ risk to reduce harmful side effects while treating cancer.
This trial tests a second, shorter course of radiation to just the area where your cancer was removed, instead of treating the whole breast again. It is for women who have had a new breast cancer in the same breast after previous radiation, to see if this approach is safe and effective.
