Phase I/II Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00888823
Lead Sponsor
AHS Cancer Control Alberta
Brief Summary

A new type of treatment called stereotactic radiotherapy has recently been developed in hopes of improving the success of the treatment and improving the convenience to patients, while reducing the side effects. This study is developing stereotactic radiotherapy as a state-of-the-art treatment for lung cancer patients.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary Objectives

* To determine the efficacy of hypofractionated, image guided radiotherapy in treating patients with lung tumours, with the primary outcome being local control at one year.

* To determine the toxicity of high dose, small field,hypofractionated radiotherapy to the lung, based on the RTOG and CTCAE scales.
