Description
This study is looking at a new investigational treatment for small cell lung cancer that has not been detected outside of the chest.
Overview
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and bad, of two different ways to give radiation therapy. The experimental way of giving the radiation therapy is once a day with a high dose of radiation for 7 weeks. The standard way of giving the radiation therapy is to give it twice a day for 3 weeks. Patients will also receive standard chemotherapy.
What we're hoping for
We're hoping to see if the experimental way of giving radiation is more effective than standard treatment.
