Overview
Brief Summary
A randomized phase II study for medically inoperable stage I non-small cell lung cancer where stereotactic body radiotherapy in three fractions to 66 Gy is compared with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to 70 Gy in 35 fractions.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter Scandinavian randomized phase II study of stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy with body frame versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for stage I medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer patients. There is a 1:1 randomization between arm A: Stereotactic radiotherapy to a dose of 66 Gy with 22 Gy per fraction at the isocenter (45 Gy covers the PTV) in 3 fractions during one week with body frame fixation and a planning target volume with a 5 mm margin around the macroscopic tumour, and arm B: Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to a dose of 70 Gy with 2 Gy per fraction in 35 fractions during 7 weeks with fixation in a vacuum pillow and a planning target volume with a 2 cm margin around the macroscopic tumour.
