Feasibility Study to Treat Lung Cancer With the Permanently Implantable LDR CivaSheet®
- Conditions
- Lung Cancer Stage IILung CancerLung Cancer Stage I
- Registration Number
- NCT03290534
- Lead Sponsor
- CivaTech Oncology
- Brief Summary
This is a feasibility study to determine the usefulness of a brachytherapy device that utilizes active components (palladium-103) of standard devices in a novel configuration, which may benefit lung cancer patients by reducing the radiation dose to critical structures, such as the heart wall, while giving a therapeutic dose to diseased tissue, such as at a surgical margin.
