Second chance: High-Dose radiation for returning lung tumors under study
NCT ID NCT07401615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 150 patients with inoperable lung cancer that returned after previous radiation. Researchers want to learn if giving another round of high-precision radiation (SBRT) is safe and effective. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment decisions for patients who have few options left.
