Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: * Age * 18-85 years; * Clinical suspicion of lung tumor with mediastinal lymph node involvement based on enlarged lymph nodes on CT thorax or FDG uptake on PET-CT conform ESMO guidelines; * Planned bronchoscopy with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) with sedation (Propofol or benzodiazepine) for standard diagnostic work-up; * Clinical performance adequate for undergoing EBUS (according to pulmonary physician ordering the diagnostic procedure).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * Clinical performance too low to undergo EBUS according to pulmonary physician ordering the diagnostic procedure; * Suspicion of metastasis or stage IV disease on PET-CT or CT-thorax; * Inadequate understanding of the Dutch language in speech and writing. * Clinical performance too low to receive chemoradiotherapy or proton therapy; * Significant co-morbidities such as end stage renal disease, severe cardiovascular disease, severe psychiatric disease, end stage COPD, or other comorbidity with limited expected survival (3 * Known pre-existent diagnosis of lung fibrosis or newly diagnosed lung fibrosis before start of the study; * Previous thoracic radiation-treatment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A significant difference in the number of *H2AX foci (double strand DNA damage) per cell induced by in vitro radiation between patient-specific normal epithelial cells from patients with * grade 2 pneumonitis or fibrosis following chemoradiation or proton therapy based on CTCAE scoring system and patients with grade * 1 pneumonitis or fibrosis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In vitro: * Measurement of in vitro-induced changes in EMT (e.g. TGF-beta, alpha-SM-actin, SLUG, vimentin), -oxidative stress (e.g. HMOX1), or -inflammation (e.g. IL-6) by ionizing radiation in normal lung epithelial cell cultures derived from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Changes in the following clinical parameters following radiation: * Performance, symptoms and QOL as measured by questionnaires; * Lung function (VC, FVC, FEV1) and diffusion capacity (DLCOc, KCO); * Respiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) as measured by forced oscillation technique; * Lung structure as measured by CTCAE grading on CT thorax; * Lung density measured by quantitative densitometry using CT-thorax. - The *-H2AX decay ratio in peripheral lymphocytes by measuring the difference in foci at 30 min and 24 hours after 1Gy radiation of peripheral lymphocytes. | — |
