Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give radiation and chemotherapy to patients with stage II-III NSCLC that can't be removed by surgery. The new way may kill more tumor cells and spare more healthy tissue.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer that can't be surgically removed. They must have a Karnofsky performance status of at least 70, meaning they are able to care for themselves. Pregnant women or those not using contraception are excluded, as well as patients who've had chest radiation before or refuse consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if combining image-guided hypofractionated RT (a type of targeted radiation therapy) with a boost and chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel is more effective in killing tumor cells while sparing normal tissue compared to standard treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include skin reactions from radiation, fatigue, nausea from chemotherapy, potential damage to surrounding organs like the lungs or heart, and an increased risk of infection due to lowered white blood cell counts.
