Inclusion Criteria:
- Limited primary or metastatic lung tumors with no evidence of uncontrolled

- Age > 18 years old
- Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this
trial.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of uncontrolled extrathoracic metastases
- Contraindication to receiving radiotherapy.
- Contraindication to receiving radiotherapy
- Age < 18 years old. Children are excluded because lung malignancies rarely occur in
this age group. Furthermore, treatment requires a great deal of patient cooperation
including the ability to lie still for several hours in an isolated room.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women are excluded; as well as women of child-bearing
potential who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of birth control
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) to avoid pregnancy for the

for the same period as above. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is
pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician
immediately.
