HEARTS Trial for Thoracic Cancers
Sponsor: University of Wisconsin, Madison
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a new way of using magnetic resonance-guided adaptive radiation therapy (MRgART) to the standard of care linear accelerator (LINAC) radiation treatment in people with cancer in the thoracic region near the heart. The main question it aims to answer is whether MRgART affects the heart differently than LINAC. Participants will: * Receive radiation therapy * Undergo MRIs and bloodwork * Complete quality of life questionnaires

Conditions
Interventions
MRgART
Magnetic Resonance-guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy (MRgART) is a form of MRgRT that incorporates daily adaptive planning, or making a new treatment plan each treatment, and real-time imaging during treatment delivery.
LINAC
Daily 3D x-ray scans will be obtained for radiation delivery to confirm tumor and organ at risk placement.
