Doctors test scans to ramp up radiation against tough lung tumors
NCT ID NCT02473133
Summary
This study tested a personalized approach to radiation therapy for people with inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers used a mid-treatment PET scan to see how the tumor was responding. If the tumor was still active, they increased the radiation dose to that specific area, aiming to improve local control of the cancer. The goal was to see if this tailored method worked better than the standard fixed dose of radiation.
