A Study of Cesium-131 Brachytherapy Following Sub-Lobar Resection for Early Stage Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

March 25, 2021 updated by: IsoRay Medical, Inc.

Outcome Study of Cesium-131 Brachytherapy Following Sub-Lobar Resection for Early Stage NSCLC

For patients diagnosed with early (Stage I) non-small cell lung cancer, a lobe of lung is usually removed at surgery to treat the cancer. For some patients, the removal of a lobe of lung may leave too little lung behind for easy breathing. For some of these patients, it may be possible to perform a smaller-scale surgery ("sub-lobar resection") and place a radioactive implant behind to prevent the cancer from growing back. This study will see how these patients do in terms of controlling their disease treated with a radioactive implant called Cesium-131.

Patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer who are not candidates for full lobectomy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients must have suspicious lung nodule for clinical stage I/recurrent non-small cell Lung Cancer
  2. Mass Tumor size < 7 cm
  3. Patient must have a CT scan of the chest with upper abdomen within 90 days prior to date of pre-registration.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has already received high dose radiation to the area
  2. Cancerous nodule is very close to the esophagus or spinal cord, thereby increasing the risk of radiation treatment
