Brief Summary

Study aims to determine if functional lung avoidance based on perfusion single photon emission (SPECT)/CT scan, improves toxicity outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer undergoing chemo-radiotherapy. Functional avoidance implies a dose plan that takes functional distribution in the lung into account, and avoids highly functional lung volumes sparing them from radiation.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * histologically verified lung cancer (small-cell and non-small cell lung cancer) * referred for radiotherapy with curative intent * radiation dose of 60-66 Gy given in 2-Gy fractions, other dose levels and fractionation schedules accepted, as per site standard * concurrent chemotherapy is accepted * patients with oligometastatic disease are allowed, where metastasis have been ablated with surgery or radiotherapy * receiving (chemo)-radiotherapy to the thoracic disease with curative intent * adults over 18, that have given oral and written informed consent before patient registration. Exclusion Criteria: * concurrent immunotherapy * previous radiotherapy to the thorax * other uncontrolled malignancies; any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol
