Lung cancer patients get a say in their radiation dose
NCT ID NCT04940936
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a tool that helps patients with lung cancer or lung metastases work with their doctor to choose the right radiation dose. The tool is designed for tumors very close to the chest wall. The goal is to see if using this tool leads to better shared decision-making and more patient involvement in treatment planning.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Histologically confirmed or high probability of non-small cell lung cancer, or metastasis from other cancer, located ≤ 1 cm from the thoracic wall. High probability refers to consensus on the diagnosis at the local multi-disciplinary lung tumor conference. * Eligible for stereotactic body radiation therapy in ablative doses (i.e. 66/45 Gy in 3 fractions) following national guidelines (2). * Can read and understand Danish. * Written and orally informed consent. * Performance status 0-2 * Life expectancy \> 6 months assessed by the physician during the consultation. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous radiation therapy in the thoracic region (lung, breast or mediastinum), if it is not possible to produce a new radiation plan of 66 or 45 Gy in 3 fractions that considers previous radiation therapy and still complies with all constraints, including dose to the thoracic wall. Previous surgery in the thorax is allowed. * Mental or social conditions preventing full understanding of the information or the planned treatment and follow-up.
