Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses MRI to target radiation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain cancers (like breast, stomach, and laryngeal) who need radiation treatment. They must be able to give consent and have a performance status that allows daily activities with effort or better. People can't join if they can't have an MRI, are severely claustrophobic, anxious, or allergic to MRI contrast agents.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of using MRIdian Linear Accelerator guided by MRI alongside chemotherapy in treating gastric and breast cancer patients. It aims to see how well this advanced technology targets tumors during radiation therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions from radiation such as skin irritation, fatigue, nausea; plus any discomforts related to lying still in an MRI machine like stiffness or temporary anxiety.
