Surgery Versus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Comparing surgery and radiation for early-stage lung cancer treatment.

18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at two different ways to treat a type of lung cancer called **Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)**. One way is surgery, where doctors cut out the cancer, and the other is **Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)**, which uses strong X-rays to target the cancer. People who join this study will have their health checked for three years to see how well the treatment works and how they feel about it.

**Key Points:**

  • The study lasts for 3 years with health checks over this time.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old and healthy enough for either treatment.
  • Involvement requires understanding and agreeing to the treatment plan and study terms.

To be part of the study, you must have Stage I NSCLC and be able to understand and sign a consent form. You should not have had other cancers that could affect the study, or previous treatments for lung cancer. The study excludes people with certain medical conditions, like serious heart problems or other cancers. This study helps doctors learn the best ways to treat lung cancer.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
