Summary

This study tested a shorter course of high-dose radiation for people with stage IV lung cancer. The goal was to see if giving fewer, larger doses over fewer days could be as safe and effective as the standard longer schedule. 37 participants received radiation every other day for a total of 6 sessions, and researchers tracked side effects like throat pain and quality of life.
