  • "To document and compare symptom burden weekly during treatment and twice a month for 3 months after therapy, using the M.D."
  • "OUTLINE: Patients undergoing standard of care proton therapy are assessed for toxicities weekly during proton treatment, then from 1 to 3 times up to 90 days from the start of treatment and annually thereafter."
  • "Patients also complete questionnaires over 15-20 minutes at baseline, weekly during treatment, and every 2 weeks during follow up for up to 3 months."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

In plain language

This study collects details about proton therapy, a type of radiation treatment, and its side effects. The information may help predict side effects in future patients and show the treatment’s long-term benefits. It is for patients scheduled to get proton therapy at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

This study collects information on the side effects of proton therapy and detailed information on the proton therapy treatment plan itself. This may help researchers develop methods to predict the risk of side effects for future patients and learn the long-term benefit of proton therapy.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • You are scheduled to get proton radiation treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
  • You must sign a consent form for this study before joining.

Who can't join

  • You cannot or do not want to attend the required follow-up visits at MD Anderson or another location.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
