Study Summary
This clinical trial studies imaging markers in planning radiation therapy in patients with lung cancer. Implanting markers in the tumor that can be seen using imaging procedures during radiation therapy may allow x-rays to be sent directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.
Interventions
- RADIATION radiation therapy treatment planning/simulation
- PROCEDURE implanted fiducial-based imaging
