Lung cancer, Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Closed
Pilot
This study is looking at the side effects of radiotherapy in people with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Doctors can treat NSCLC with radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. They know that a few people can develop heart problems after they have finished treatment and researchers want to find out more about this.
In the past doctors were not able to look at the heart in detail but now, with new MRI scans, they can.
The aims of this study are to
Use MRI scans to learn more about the heart following radiotherapy for non small cell lung cancer
Find out the best time to have MRI scans, this may lead to a further study with more people
You will not have any direct benefit from taking part in this study, and it is unlikely to change your treatment plan in any way. But the results of the study will help people with cancer in the future.
Recruitment start: 27 February 2012
Recruitment end: 30 November 2015
