Clinical Trial: Adaptive Radiation in Anal Cancer
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Feasibility Study of Adaptive Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Locally-Advanced Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Brief Summary:
This is a 20 patient pilot study to examine the feasibility of dose-adapted radiation therapy for the treatment of locally advanced anal squamous cell cancer.The tumor and a patient's anatomy may change during radiation treatment and daily adaption of the radiation plan (i.e., a new daily plan based on the anatomy of the day) may help to maximize the dose to the tumor and minimize the radiation dose to the normal surrounding organs.
