Brief Title: Immune Boost In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Official Title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Radiation Induced Immune Boost in Operable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT02319408
Brief Summary: Insufficient migration and activation of tumour specific effector T cells seems to be the one important reason for inadequate host anti-tumour immune response. Ionizing radiation can induce a variety of immune responses. The goal of this randomized trial is to assess if a preoperative single fraction low dose radiation is able to improve anti-tumour immune response in operable early stage lung cancer.
