'SOURCE - LUNG' Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy Of UltRaCEntral LUNG Tumours (SOURCE Lung)

This is a phase II, non-randomised study examining the safety of treating high risk centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours and single pulmonary oligometastatic lesions using radiation therapy (RT), for patients whose disease is inoperable. The method of delivering the RT in this study is image guided stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (IG-SABR). This method involves using imaging to ensure the radiation is being delivered to the correct location within the body and using higher than normal doses per treatment (fraction) to treat the lung cancer (NSCLC)/oligometastatic lung lesion. This study aims to determine its safety by looking at the number and severity of side effects. This study will deliver 8 treatments/fractions of RT with 7.5 Gy delivered in each fraction. To be eligible for this study the initial treatment plan for the patient must be shown to not fulfil certain criteria relating to doses to the tumour and surrounding normal tissue. This study has its own study specific criteria which must be adhered to. Translational sub-studies (optional) are open to patients in participating centres only. Patients will have the option to consent to participating in both translational studies or to neither.
