Studying upright proton therapy for cancer
This trial studies proton therapy (a type of radiation treatment) given while you are upright, rather than lying down. It aims to see how this upright position works for different cancers and may offer more comfort and precision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have any type of cancer (children and adults are welcome).
- Your doctor has recommended proton therapy for you.
- You can join even if you are in other clinical trials, including ones comparing proton therapy to other treatments.
