Pulmonary Interstitial Lymphography in Early Stage Lung Cancer
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lung Cancer, Lung Cancer Non-Small Cell Cancer (NSCLC), Lung Cancer Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Mesothelioma
In brief
The stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) procedure is an emerging alternative to the standard treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), typically lobectomy with lymphadenectomy. This procedure (lobectomy) does not fulfill the medical need as many patients are poor operative candidates or decline surgery. This study assesses the feasibility of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as a tool to produce therapeutically useful computed tomography (CT) scans, using standard water-soluble iodinated compounds as the contrast agents.
