In this investigation, patients being treated with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung cancer will receive a new treatment. Beacons will be implanted into the patients’ lung to allow Multi Leaf Collimator (MLC) tracking equipment to precisely follow the movement of the lung. The difference between tracking tumour movement with MLC versus the current standard method will be compared to identify any variances. Audio-visual (AV) Biofeedback will also be used to regulate patients’ breathing during radiotherapy.
Project status: Now closed to recruitment. 17 patients accrued. Participants now in follow up and analysis has begun.
