Functional Lung Avoidance SPECT-guided Radiation Therapy of Lung Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Single-photon-emission CT scan: SPECT/CT scan is an established functional modality used in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. SPECT/CT scan images pulmonary circulation, where perfused areas equate with normal functional lung
Study summary
Study aims to determine if functional lung avoidance based on perfusion single photon emission (SPECT)/CT scan, improves toxicity outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. Functional avoidance implies a dose plan that takes functional distribution in the lung into account, and avoids highly functional lung volumes sparing them from radiation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Radiation-induced lung toxicity — Measured serially from 1 to 12 months after treatment completion
crude rate of symptomatic radiation-induced lung toxicity of grade 2 and higher. According to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 for radiation pneumonitis, dyspnea, cough, or any other radiation-induced respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorder.
