Proton beam radiation after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if proton beam radiation therapy is safe and effective after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy before their surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had surgery to remove lung cancer that had spread to lymph nodes in the chest, and all visible cancer was removed.
- You had chemotherapy or other treatment before your surgery, and it ended at least 2 weeks before starting radiation.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the chest before.
- Your cancer is not caused by changes in the EGFR or ALK genes.
- You are generally well enough to care for yourself (ECOG score 0-2).

This study looks at a type of radiation treatment using proton beams (IMPT) for small cell lung cancer. It may help assess whether this approach can safely deliver the planned radiation doses to the chest.
This trial tests if targeted radiation after surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who still have cancer in their lymph nodes after chemotherapy. Participants will have had surgery and chemotherapy before starting radiation.
This trial tests a new type of proton radiation for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if it's safe and works well, with less damage to healthy tissue.
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a precise form of proton radiation for people with early stage lung cancer who cannot have surgery. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe.
This trial studies a type of radiation made with protons to treat only part of the breast after surgery (lumpectomy) for early-stage breast cancer. It may help control the cancer while aiming to reduce radiation to surrounding tissues.
