Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with stage II-III lung cancer who have not undergone prior surgery and have received definitive radiotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have had prior local treatments such as surgery or have not completed their radiotherapy plan may 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 observational study aims to analyze the regression patterns of primary lung cancer lesions following definitive radiotherapy. By retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients who have undergone this treatment, the study will utilize imaging tools to measure changes in tumor size and volume. The goal is to establish a model for tumor regression and evaluate the relationship between regression rates, adverse effects, and patient prognosis. This research seeks to optimize radiotherapy plans to enhance treatment efficacy for lung cancer patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved radiotherapy strategies that enhance treatment outcomes for lung cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: While this study explores a specific aspect of tumor regression in lung cancer, similar studies have shown promise in optimizing radiotherapy approaches.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years old; 2. Stage II-III lung cancer with a clear pathological diagnosis report or medical record, not undergoing surgery before radiotherapy; 3. The primary lung lesion received definitive radiotherapy (defined as conventional fractionation radiotherapy with dose ≥50Gy, stereotactic radiotherapy with biologically effective dose ≥100Gy); 4. The target lesion of the lung receiving radiotherapy can be measured; 5. Imaging data can be obtained before and after radiotherapy; 6. Complete radiotherapy as planned, or the actual received dose has reached the defined definitive dose. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Before radiotherapy, the primary lesion of the lung had received local treatment such as surgery or ablative treatment; 2. The radiotherapy plan was not completed, and the actual dose received did not reach the definitive dose (defined as conventional fractionation radiotherapy with dose \<50Gy, stereotactic radiotherapy with biologically effective dose \<100Gy); 3. Required imaging data cannot be obtained; 4. Other conditions considered by the investigator to be inappropriate for enrollment.
