Pilot Project of Adaptive Thoracic Radiotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 1

Summary

This study is intended to assess the feasibility of adjusting a radiation plan during its course to accommodate for a shrinking tumor target. The investigators hypothesize that an adaptive radiotherapy (RT) planning strategy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with chest-confined disease will allow for safe delivery of higher doses of chest RT than a non-adaptive RT planning approach without subjecting normal critical structures to unacceptable doses of radiotherapy.

Conditions

• Small Cell Lung Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Adaptive Radiation	Thoracic Radiotherapy which is adapted or adjusted during its course to account for tumor volume shrinkage which occurs during treatment
