Vertebral Bone Marrow in Lung Cancer Attention Trial (VMAT) (CTMS# 21-0168)

About This Study

The purpose of this study is to see whether designing radiation to spare the vertebral bone marrow can limit the rates of lymphopenia during standard of care chemoradiation therapy and in the time to count recovery in the ensuing weeks. Secondary endpoints will examine whether this leads to improved disease control whether this is predictive of improved clinical outcomes such as rates of local recurrence (LR), metastasis free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS), and progression free survival (PFS) which will be followed prospectively up to 5 years.
