Program Overview
The study aims to evaluate a new approach to treating small lung tumors using a single session of CT-guided stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy. This method could significantly shorten the treatment process, making it more accessible for patients who live far from treatment centers. The new technique uses advanced imaging and motion management to deliver precise radiation therapy without the need for multiple appointments.
