Received grant in 2017
DCCC has funded 200,000 DKK to the project.
The purpose of PARAT is to initiate a national protocol for palliating radiotherapy for patients with lung cancer. The aim is to:
- Examine if a short RT-regime, 20 Gy/ 4F causes less acute toxicity than a long RT-regime, 30 Gy/ 10 F (incl. Qol, alleviation of symptoms and survival)
- Standardise and improve the technical quality of palliating radiotherapy for this group
- Establish a clinical database for lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy to ensure follow-ups in relation to side effects, Qol and survival for the benefit of both the individual patient and the group looking forward
