Specialized Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage II, Stage III, Stage IV, or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Poor Performance Status
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00986297
Purpose
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of specialized radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II, stage III, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer and poor performance status.
Official Title
Phase 1 Study of Accelerated Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) in Patients With Stage II-IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Poor Performance Status
