Carbon-ion radiation for large chest tumors
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of radiation using carbon ions to treat large tumors in the chest that have come back or not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if this therapy is safe and effective for people who have few options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a solid tumor in the chest that is confirmed by biopsy.
- Your tumor has come back or not improved after standard treatments, and your doctor says you have no standard options left.
- The main tumor is 4.5 cm or larger in its largest measurement.
- You are generally able to care for yourself (ECOG 0-2) and expected to live at least 6 more months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and are willing to give written consent.

This trial tests a type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people with thymus cancer that was not completely removed during surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment can target the remaining tumor cells safely and effectively.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and carbon ion radiation for people with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has not spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion radiotherapy for people with aggressive brain tumors (high-grade gliomas). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for patients who have not had radiation to the head before.
This trial tests whether carbon ion radiation (high-energy targeted radiation) can control peripheral non-small cell lung cancer in people who are medically unable to have surgery. It may help shrink or stop tumor growth while limiting harm to nearby organs.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy (carbon ion boost) to people with advanced, inoperable lung cancer. The goal is to see if targeting the most aggressive parts of the tumor with a higher dose can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new type of radiation (carbon ion) plus chemotherapy for thymic tumors that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see if this combination can effectively treat the cancer while protecting healthy organs.
