Thermal Signature of Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy

Study summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate whether thermal imaging (recording body temperature) can be used to check the body's response to cancer therapy. Primary Objective: * The primary objective of this study is to establish techniques and methodologies of quantifying thermal signatures and their changes for cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation therapy. Secondary Objective: * The secondary objective is to evaluate correspondence between changes of thermal signature of a normal organ, e.g. lung or esophagus, versus the toxicity of that organ from chemoradiation therapy.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

1. Patients with lung cancers of any stages. 2. Patients will undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy. 3. Patients with KPS \> 70, are physically mobile and independent, and are able to stand still straight for more than 10 minutes for imaging purposes. 4. Age \>18 years

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria

1. Patients who had lung surgery within past 3 months. 2. Patients with breast implant or cardiac implant (pace maker or defibrillator). 3. Patients who had skin diseases (e.g. skin desquamation, dermatitis) or other medical conditions that may interfere with thermal measurement. 4. Pregnant woman 5. Extreme obese patients with body mass index \>=35

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
