Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung Cancer

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Lung Cancer focused on measuring stage I non-small cell lung cancer, stage II non-small cell lung cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer
Stage I or II disease (T1-3, N0, M0)
- T2 or T3 tumor ≤ 5 cm
- No T3 tumors involving the central chest or mediastinum (only chest wall involvement allowed)
Tumor deemed technically resectable, in the opinion of an experienced thoracic surgeon, AND patient deemed "medically inoperable"
- Patients with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avidity in mediastinal lymph nodes are eligible provided they are able to undergo mediastinoscopy to confirm N0 status
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for ≥ 6 months after completion of study treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- No history of contrast allergy
- No psychological issues that would preclude the completion of study treatment
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- No prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy
- No suspected nodal metastasis that cannot be falsified by mediastinoscopy (i.e., hilar or mediastinal nodes that are either fludeoxyglucose F 18 [FDG]-avid or measure > 1 cm in short axis diameter on CT scan)
- No tumor within or touching the proximal bronchial tree, defined as a volume of 2 cm in all directions around the proximal bronchial tree (carina, right and left main stem bronchi, right and left upper lobe bronchi, bronchus intermedius, right middle lobe bronchus, lingular bronchus, right and left lower lobe bronchi)
Sites / Locations
