What is the A Randomized Phase III Study of Sublobar Resection versus Sublobar Resection plus Brachytherapy in High Risk Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), study?

This randomized phase III trial is studying surgery and internal radiation therapy to see how well they work compared to surgery alone in treating patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Who can participate?

Eligibility criteria include the following:

At least 18 years old
No previous internal radiation therapy to the chest
For more information about the eligibility criteria for this trial, contact study coordinator.
