Targeted radiation boost could help control advanced lung cancer

NCT ID NCT02788461

Summary

This study is testing whether giving an extra, targeted dose of radiation to the most active parts of a lung tumor can improve treatment results. It compares standard chemoradiation to the same treatment with this added 'boost.' The main goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of the cancer returning in the treated area within two years.
