Biologically Guided Radiation Therapy (BgRT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for the Treatment of Patients with Oligoprogressive Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well biologically guided radiation therapy (BgRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) works for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to a limited number of anatomic sites (oligoprogressive). BgRT is radiation that uses specialized imaging to during treatment to target the active tumor and direct radiation to tumors in order to kill and shrink tumor cells. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving BgRT with SBRT may kill more tumor cells in patients with oligoprogressive non-small cell lung carcinoma.
