Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer And Lung Dysfunction

Study summary

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: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of specialized high-dose radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage I non-small cell lung cancer and lung dysfunction.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

  • High risk due to nonpulmonary reasons, such as renal failure, cardiac failure, or hepatic dysfunction and deemed by thoracic surgeon to be unsuitable for lobectomy
  • Pulmonary dysfunction indicated by one or more of the following:
  • FEV\_1 less than 40% of predicted
  • DLCO less than 50% of predicted

  • No weight loss of more than 10% within the past 6 months
  • No other active (less than 30% risk of relapse after completion of prior therapy) malignancy except nonmelanoma skin cancer Chemotherapy:
  • No prior chemotherapy for NSCLC Radiotherapy:
  • No prior chest radiotherapy
