Summary

This study tested a faster radiation treatment called Quad Shot for people with advanced lung cancer who are also on other cancer drugs. The goal was to see if giving radiation in fewer, more intense sessions is safe and doesn't interfere with their regular treatment. 41 patients took part, and researchers tracked side effects like lung inflammation or bleeding for three months.
