Single‑session high‑dose lung radiotherapy and its effects on outcomes and quality of life
Official title: Quality-of-Life Assessment Following Single-Fraction Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SF-SBRT) for Inoperable Primary and Oligometastatic Lung Tumor
Run by Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle · NCT07441941 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a single high‑dose session of SBRT (30–34 Gy) works and how it affects quality of life for adults with small primary non‑small cell lung cancers or up to three lung metastases who are inoperable or refuse surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults (≥18) with peripheral T1‑2 N0 M0 NSCLC or oligometastatic lung disease (≤3 metastases), tumor ≤3 cm and >2 cm from the proximal bronchial tree, inoperable or refusing surgery, with ECOG 0–2 and able to comply with follow‑up.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with tumors invading the pleura or mediastinum, central tumors too close to major airways (<2 cm), prior radiotherapy to the treatment field, active pulmonary infection, or inability to follow study procedures are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This observational multicenter study follows adults receiving single‑fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (30–34 Gy) for peripheral lung tumors ≤3 cm that are inoperable or for patients with up to three lung metastases. Participants are enrolled at Montpellier and Lorraine cancer centers and undergo routine clinical follow‑up with imaging and standardized quality‑of‑life questionnaires. The study records local control, toxicity, survival outcomes, and patient‑reported quality of life to characterize real‑world effects of monofraction SBRT. Collected data aim to inform how single‑session treatment integrates into routine practice compared with multi‑fraction approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, results could support using single‑session SBRT to maintain tumor control while reducing clinic visits and preserving patients' quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous SBRT series report high local control for early lung tumors, and COVID‑era monofraction protocols (30–34 Gy) have shown outcomes comparable to multi‑fraction regimens.
