SPECT-guided radiation to avoid healthy lung in lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed lung cancer (small-cell or non-small cell).
- You are being referred for radiation meant to cure the cancer, not just shrink symptoms.
- Your planned radiation is around 60–66 Gy, in 2-gram daily doses (other schedules may be allowed if your clinic uses them).
- You can be receiving chemotherapy at the same time as radiation (this is allowed).
- If you have limited spread to a few places, those spots must be fully treated (for example with surgery or targeted radiation).
- You are an adult (18+) and can agree to the study in writing.

This study tests a new way to plan radiation for lung tumors. It uses a breathing-guided scan to map healthy and unhealthy parts of the lungs, so radiation can avoid working lung tissue. The goal is to see if this approach spares more healthy lung while still treating the cancer.
This study tests a way to guide lung radiation using X-ray images during treatment, without using implanted tracking markers for every step. It may help doctors target tumors more accurately while you receive external beam radiotherapy.
This study monitors how the heart and lungs respond to radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer. It aims to learn how well patients tolerate treatment and to detect early signs of side effects.
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer by using a special imaging technique (functional lung imaging) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to reduce damage to healthy lung tissue while still targeting the cancer.
This study tests whether using a special PET/CT scan (which shows how well your lungs are working) to guide radiation planning can better protect healthy lung tissue compared to standard planning. It is for people who are already scheduled to have precise, high-dose radiation for a lung tumor.
This study uses an AI tool to help plan how doctors deliver focused radiation to lung tumors. It may help make radiation targeting more precise and support treatment safety for people with primary or limited metastatic lung cancer.
