Summary
This study tests a new way to give proton radiation for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Instead of daily low doses over many weeks, patients get higher doses over a shorter time (hypofractionation) along with standard chemotherapy. The goal is to find the safest high dose and see if it helps more people live at least one year. About 32 adults with good performance status are taking part.
