Diffusion-weighted MRI for Individualized Radiation Therapy Planning of Lung Cancer
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
In brief
This clinical trial studies diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying and localizing tumors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Diagnostic procedures such as diffusion weighted MRI may help identify where active cancer is to improve the targeting accuracy of radiotherapy. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before, during, and after radiation therapy may help determine how the location and volume of tumors changes over time and predict how the tumor will respond to therapy.
