This trial is testing a new way to plan radiation therapy for cancer using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans instead of traditional planning methods. Researchers want to see if using MRI imaging to map out exactly where to aim radiation can be done safely and effectively, and whether it helps doctors target tumors more precisely while protecting healthy tissue.
Standard radiation therapy planning has limitations in seeing exactly where tumors are and how they change over time. This trial exists to see if using advanced MRI imaging during treatment planning could help doctors aim radiation more accurately, potentially improving outcomes and reducing side effects.

If you join this trial, you'll first go through a screening period to make sure you're eligible. Then you'll have MRI scans done as part of your regular radiation therapy planning. Researchers will use these MRI images to create a radiation therapy plan and may compare it to traditional planning methods. The study has two phases: Phase I focuses on whether MRI planning is feasible and safe, while Phase II tests whether adjusting radiation doses based on detailed MRI information improves results.
