Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radiation therapy after s...

Inclusion

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA :
  • Histological evidence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  • Complete resection by lobectomy, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy (i.e patients with positive margins) or extra-capsular mediastinal nodal extension breaching the surface of the pathological specimen should not to be included
