Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients who have received or been evaluated for radiation therapy for benign or malignant conditions since 2000.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not undergone radiation therapy and are receiving alternative treatments may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a registry database to assess the clinical outcomes of patients who have received or been evaluated for radiation treatment for both cancer and benign conditions. The study will retrospectively collect comprehensive data, including medical history, treatment details, and quality of life outcomes, from patients treated since 2000. The goal is to compare these outcomes with the National Cancer Data Base to enhance future clinical practices and identify areas for prospective studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies and outcomes for patients undergoing radiation therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in utilizing registry data to improve clinical outcomes, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Any patient who received or was potentially evaluated for radiotherapy since 2000 for benign or malignant etiologies in the definitive or palliative setting. Patients with comparatively similar diagnosis and disease status at UTSW, but electing not to undergo radiation therapy, treated with surgical or systemic therapy, or best supportive care, being followed by an oncology specialist at UT Southwestern Medical Center will also be eligible for evaluation. - Exclusion Criteria: None
