Clinical trials: High-risk Lung Resection Surgery
Lung Cancer
Surgery With or Without Internal Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This randomized phase III trial studies surgery and internal radiation therapy to see how well they work compared to surgery alone in treating patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Lung Cancer
Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.

Prolonged Air Leak, Lung Resection
Effectiveness Novel Tissue Sealant, Prevention Prolonged Air Leak (PAL) After Lung Resection
The effectiveness of tissue sealants to prevent Prolonged Air Leak (PAL) after lung resection procedures remains unproved. The investigators hypothesize that one of the main reasons for that is the heterogeneity of previously…

Lung Cancer
Surgery With or Without Internal Radiation Therapy Compared With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With High-Risk Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Surgery with or without internal radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells.

- NCT01336894
- Testing
- therapeutic conventional surgery, iodine I 125, stereotactic body radiation therapy
