Surgery Versus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT05183932)
Comparing the Effectiveness of Surgery Versus Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (SORT)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The development of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has inspired a close partnership between thoracic surgery and radiation oncology. In this study, patients with stage I NSCLC will be screened prior to treatment and will be consented after their treatment plan has been determined. Prospectively collected patient-reported outcomes (PROs) will be collected for 3 years or for the duration of the study (whichever is shorter), as will outcomes data.
