Evaluating SBRT for treating lung nodules after surgery
Official title: To Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SBRT) in the Treatment of Patients With Residual Malignant Pulmonary Nodules After Lung Cancer Surgery: A Multi-center, Prospective Clinical Trial (SMILE)
Run by Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University · NCT05113017 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) can safely help people with leftover lung nodules after surgery when more surgery isn't possible.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with at least two lung nodules, one of which is pathologically diagnosed as lung cancer, and who cannot undergo surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metastatic pulmonary nodules or those who have previously received chest radiotherapy will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in patients with multiple primary malignant pulmonary nodules following surgery. It focuses on individuals who have residual lung nodules that are either inoperable or for whom surgery is not an option. The study will involve a prospective evaluation of these patients to provide insights into new treatment alternatives for this challenging condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a non-surgical treatment option for patients with multiple lung nodules, potentially improving their outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being evaluated, similar studies using SBRT for lung cancer treatment have shown promising results, indicating potential for success.
