Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | An Observation of the Change in Percent Lean Body Mass of Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Radiation Treatment |
Estimated Enrollment: | 45 |
Study Start Date: | February 2007 |
Primary Completion Date: | February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
OUTLINE: Patients receive radiotherapy as planned for 7 weeks. Patients undergo an interview on treatment day 1 (before initiation of radiotherapy) and treatment day 35 (after completion of radiotherapy) regarding recent food consumption history and appetite. Patients' standing weight and height are measured on these days and their body composition, measured with a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device, are also taken. Patients' Karnofsky performance score are obtained from their medical record.
