Isotoxic Dose Escalation and Acceleration in Lung Cancer ChemoRadiotherapy

 

A phase I/II trial of concurrent chemoradiation with dose-escalated

radiotherapy in patients with stage II or stage III

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

 

Trial objectives:

To investigate the toxicity, feasibility and potential clinical effectiveness of dose-escalated RT with concurrent chemotherapy in stage IIb or stage III NSCLC as a potential experimental arm in future phase III trials.  It will also allow the assessment and validation of radiobiological models for predicting tumour control and normal tissue complications.
