Pilot Study of Same-session MR-only Simulation and Treatment With MRI-guided Adaptive Palliative RadioTherapy (MAP-RT)
This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT)
simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session
magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive
radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could
initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of malignancy (biopsy proven or high clinical suspicion with urgent/emergent
clinical indications for palliative RT)
- Requires delivery of palliative radiation therapy for the treatment of painful
metastasis, hemoptysis, gastrointestinal bleeding, pelvic bleeding, or superior vena
cava syndrome/bulky mediastinal disease.
- At least 18 years of age.
- Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB-approved written informed consent
document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
within 14 days of study entry.
- Medical contraindication to undergoing MR imaging.
