Data Collection to Assess Acute and Late Normal Tissue Sequelae in Proton Therapy for Adults
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
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.

Observational (questionnaire)
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.
