BACKGROUND: To determine the feasibility of PET/CT-based image-guided moderate hypofractionated thoracic irradiation (Hypo-IGRT) in locally advanced node-positive non-small cell lung cancer patients with highly compromised pulmonary function. METHOD: Eight highly-selected and closely monitored patients with highly diminished pulmonary function (FEV1
