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

How this study is categorized
These labels come from structured fields and exact terms in the public record.
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.
