Study of Breath-holding as a Means to Reduce Tumor Motion From Breathing

University of Rochester

Status: Terminated

Conditions: Neoplasm, Metastatic

Treatments: Procedure: MRI with breath-holding

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT00178477

URCC 3701

Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate typical tumor motion caused by breathing using MRI and can help determine whether simple passive breathing and/or breath-holding could be used for the future treatment of similar lung and liver tumors using radiation therapy radiosurgery techniques.
