Positron Emission Tomography Scan and CT Scan in Planning Radiation Therapy for Patients With Stage II or Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) scan and CT scan, may help doctors plan radiation therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a combined PET scan and CT scan works compared to a CT scan alone in planning radiation therapy for patients with stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
