Precision radiation offers hope for lung cancer patients too sick for surgery

NCT ID NCT03485378

Summary

This study is testing a precise form of radiation therapy for people with early-stage lung cancer who also have a serious lung-scarring disease (ILD) and cannot have surgery. The goal is to see if this targeted radiation can help patients live longer while keeping side effects manageable. Researchers will compare survival rates in patients who receive the radiation to what would be expected if they received no treatment at all.
