Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Radiotherapy (RT) treatment to the chest is a standard way of trying to decrease symptoms like cough or shortness of breath. Before any RT can be delivered, it must be planned, either using conventional x-rays ("fluoroscopy") or using computer tomography ("CT") scanning. This study is being done because the investigators do not know which of these two common ways of RT planning is better for balancing both treating the cancer and decreasing side effects.
