Single high-dose radiation for early lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a single very high dose of precisely targeted radiation to treat early-stage lung cancer. It aims to destroy the tumor with one treatment session, which may be more convenient and effective than standard radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a more precise radiation technique (stereotactic body radiotherapy) for early-stage lung cancer or small lung tumors. It aims to reduce side effects by eliminating the usual safety margin around the tumor.
This trial tests a new combination of radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy given before surgery for stage II or III lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a personalized radiation treatment called SBRT for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer part of the lung and cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who cannot have surgery or choose not to.
This trial studies how safe and effective a type of focused radiation called SBRT is for cancer tumors in certain chest locations. It’s meant for people whose tumor is small (up to 5 cm) and who don’t have widespread, uncontrolled spread.
This trial tests how a single, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) affects quality of life and outcomes for people with certain lung tumors. It's for adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer or a lung tumor that has spread from another cancer, as long as the tumor is small and in the outer part of the lung.
This trial tests a higher-dose radiation treatment for lung cancer or a single tumor in the lung. It is designed for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to, and whose tumor is near the chest wall making standard radiation difficult.
