This study investigates the treatment of breast cancer in patients who have hormone-sensitive, HER-2 negative tumors with a low recurrence score. The purpose is to understand if breast conservation surgery with only endocrine therapy is as effective as combining it with radiation therapy in preventing the return of cancer in …
What is the purpose of this study?This is a one-stage single-arm phase II clinical trial designed to prospectively test the survival prediction tool as developed by Lee et al on patients referred to radiation oncologyve treatments. Survival prediction score based on objective data includingboratory values, attendance to emergency room, and …
This study investigates how completing surveys about symptoms and quality of life during radiation treatment affects symptom management. The focus is on patients who speak English or Spanish and are undergoing treatment for certain cancers, like endometrial, cervical, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see if real-time feedback can …
This study investigates the use of MRI surveillance alone versus MRI surveillance combined with prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the lung and can spread quickly. MRI, or magnetic resonance …
What is the purpose of this study?This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. …
This study investigates the effects of receiving regional radiotherapy compared to no regional radiotherapy in patients with low risk node positive breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease where cells in the breast grow uncontrollably. This study includes two study arms. In one arm, participants who had breast conserving surgery …
This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy works compared with observation in treating patients with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been completely removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
The purpose of this study is to compare two treatment approaches that are currently used after surgery for head and neck cancer. One approach is to administer radiation therapy alone. A second approach is to administer radiation therapy along with the chemotherapy drug, cisplatin.
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of usual radiation plus the study treatment, MEDI4736 (durvalumab), to the usual therapy of radiation plus cetuximab in patients with head and neck cancer who cannot take the drug cisplatin.
