Summary
This study tested two different radiotherapy schedules for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. One group received the standard 6-week course, while the other had a shorter 4-week course based on PET scans. The main goal was to see how patients felt during and after treatment by tracking side effects they reported themselves. The study involved 55 participants and aimed to find a way to reduce treatment time without increasing discomfort.
