Phase 2 Trial Assessing Toxicity of Personalized Response-Based Radiation Treatment in Patients With Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Local failure rates after treatment for locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain high. Efforts to improve local control with a uniform dose escalation or dose escalation to midtreatment positron emission tomography (PET)-avid residual disease have been limited by heightened toxicity. This trial aimed to refine response-based adaptive radiation therapy (RT) and minimize toxicity by incorporating fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) and ventilation-perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging midtreatment.
