NCT ID NCT07564089

First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether the size and shape of the thymus gland, along with the radiation dose it receives, can predict a drop in immune cells (lymphopenia) after radiation therapy for stage III lung cancer. Researchers will collect data from standard scans and blood tests of 450 adults receiving chest radiation. The goal is to help doctors design safer radiation plans in the future. This is an observational study with no added treatments or risks.
