In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a prospective phase I study to determine the safety and feasibility of non-ablative oligofractionated radiation therapy (NORT) before lung transplantation for patients with underlying pulmonary malignancy. We hypothesize that heterogeneous dose distributions could generate a vaccination effect against the tumor by creating anti-tumoral immune response in the body and these patients may be immunized against their tumor which could reduce the risk of cancer recurrence after transplantation despite the anti-rejection medications required for the transplantation.
