LIVELUNG - Impact of CGA in Patients Diagnosed With Localized NSCLC Treated With SBRT

Older patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) often die from other causes than lung cancer due to age-related comorbidities. This national randomized study will include 130 patients throughout 5 Danish cancer centres and investigate if a comprehensive geriatric intervention (CGA) when added upfront to SBRT for patients with localized NSCLC will have an impact on quality of life (QoL), overall survival, physical functionality and unplanned hospital admissions. If an upfront CGA improves patients' general health status, this study could lead to implementation of a CGA in standard clinical practice as well as further research on older patients receiving radiotherapy.
