Smart radiation aims to protect lungs while fighting cancer
NCT ID NCT04676828
Summary
This study is testing a new way to deliver radiation therapy for advanced lung cancer. The goal is to use a special SPECT scan to map which parts of the lung are healthiest and working best, and then avoid giving high radiation doses to those areas. Researchers want to see if this 'functional avoidance' approach reduces lung damage and side effects like severe cough and shortness of breath compared to standard radiation, while still effectively treating the cancer.
