Proton beam radiation therapy.
Proton bean radiation therapy interact differently with tissue with the result that protons are absorbed completely within the tissue instead of primarily passing through the entire body. The maximal depth of penetration is dependent upon the incoming velocity (energy) of the protons. Proton therapy utilizes this property to deliver radiation with very little dose beyond the targeted lesion. The dose-rate will be managed as part of the standard of care.
X-ray based radiation therapy
The three-dimensional (3D) mapping of radiation dose distributions permits detailed assessment of local vascular damage as a function of treatment factors of dose, dose-rate. The dose-rate will be managed as part of the standard of care.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan of the chest will be performed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
Pulmonary function test (PFT) will be performed at pre-treatment, and at 6 and 12 months.
