Evaluation of Cyberknife Precision Radiation Delivery System for Unresectable Malignant Lung Cancer

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT00238602

Purpose

This study has two primary objectives. The first objective is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) that can be delivered with stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with inoperable malignant lung tumors. Once the MTD is established, the second objective is to determine the efficacy of radiosurgical ablation of lung tumors in terms of symptoms and radiographic responses.

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:1.Lung tumor >= 5.0 cm.

2.Age > 18 years,

3.Histologic confirmation of malignancy (primary lung or metastatic tumor)

4.Deemed unresectable either by radiographic criteria (such as direct invasion of the
mediastinum, heart, great vessels, or trachea), by virtue of excessive risk to patient,

5.Performance status of 0-2 by Eastern Clinical Oncology Group criteria Exclusion
Criteria:1. No chemotherapy within 2 weeks of radiation treatment.

2. Refusal to sign informed consent.

3. Refusal to take a pregnancy test prior to treatment if the patient is a woman with child
