INST 0810: Phase II Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Using Tomotherapy for Tumors of the Lung
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stereotactic Body Radiation for Lung Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the response of lung tumors to radiation therapy. This study will be using a type of radiation therapy called tomotherapy. Tomotherapy is a relatively new kind of therapy which is able to focus a large amount of radiation to a small area with relatively less radiation to the surrounding non-cancerous part of the organ. This study is being done to find out if this technique is able to control the cancer better or not than the standard radiation and also to study its safety.

Interventions
A total of 60 Gy using 12 Gy per fraction over 5 fractions to be given within 10 calendar days. Each fraction of 12 Gy will be divided into 2 fractions of 6 Gy given in one day within 6 hours. Dose will be prescribed to the isodose line which covers at least 90% of the planning target volume. Dose homogeneity +/- 5%.
