Brief Title: Daily vs. Non-Daily SBRT for NSCLC
Official Title: Consecutive Vs. Non-Consecutive Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy For Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT03624907
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) on non-consecutive days will increase the chances of curing non-small cell lung cancer when compared to daily treatment.
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) on non-consecutive days will improve the chance of curing non-small cell lung cancer compared to treatment with SBRT on consecutive days. In either case, the dose of radiation is the same. Non-consecutive treatments will be at least 40 hours apart and no more than 100 hours apart. The total course of treatment will be 8-12 days. Consecutive treatments will be daily over 4-5 days within one calendar week. The total course of treatment will be 4-5 days. The study team will assess if DNA from the tumor can be found in the blood to determine which patients respond quickest to radiotherapy. These results will not be made available to participants and will not change treatment.
