JoLT-Ca Sublobar Resection (SR) Versus Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SAbR) for Lung Cancer

Comparing lung cancer treatments: surgery vs. targeted radiation therapy.

Phase 3
**JoLT-Ca Study: Comparing Two Treatments for Lung Cancer** This study is trying to find out if a type of radiation treatment, called **Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SAbR)**, helps people with early-stage lung cancer live longer compared to **Sublobar Resection (SR)**, a type of surgery. Lung cancer types are often named by how cells look under a microscope, and this study focuses on **Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)**, the most common type. **Key Points:** - **Duration**: Patients will be observed for at least two years after treatment. - **Participation**: Patients will be randomly assigned to either SAbR or SR but can choose to participate or not. - **Eligibility**: Must be over 18, have a confirmed specific type of lung cancer, and be considered high risk for surgery. Before joining, patients will go through a process to see if they fit the study's requirements, like having specific lung function tests. Only those who agree to join, after understanding all the details, will be part of the study. This research aims to improve lung cancer treatment options and help patients make informed decisions about their care.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
