Summary

This study tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the most active parts of a lung tumor can lower the chance of cancer coming back in the chest. About 78 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer will get either standard chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy plus an extra radiation boost. The goal is to see if this approach improves local control without increasing side effects.
