Intraoperative I-125 Brachytherapy Following Sublobar Resection in High Risk Patients with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
| Purpose of trial: |
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects (bad or good) that local radiation has in preventing the return of lung cancer, to help with future treatment of lung cancer |
| Protocol Summary: |
Patients will have lung surgery to have the mass or lung nodule removed. Then there will be an insertion of I-125 interstitial radiation vicryl mesh implant placed along the suture line where the mass was removed. The vicryl mesh will dissolve eventually in the body, the seeds are radioactive and act to destroy microscopic cancer cells that are left behind after surgical removed tumor. We will evaluate the side effects if any that may occur after having the I-125 beads inserted. Patients will be contacted every six months |
