New hope for advanced lung cancer: attacking remaining tumors with surgery or radiation after initial treatment

NCT ID NCT06114108

First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study is for people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer whose main tumor and metastases have shrunk after initial chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. The researchers want to see if also treating the remaining cancer spots with surgery or radiation (called local ablative therapy) helps keep the cancer from growing back longer and maintains quality of life. About 128 adults will be randomly assigned to either continue standard therapy alone or add local ablative therapy.
