Purpose
The aim of the study is to assess current practice within PROP & lung teams, for treating asymptomatic patients with centrally located non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to observe outcomes for those patients receiving immediate or deferred RT. This is a prospective cohort trial. Patients will be managed by immediate radiotherapy (RT) or a deferred approach according to physicians' individual current clinical practice. Baseline and follow-up data collection will be structured to focus on patient-reported measures to describe clinical outcomes in the two management groups. Indications for prescribing RT and dose fractionation schedules will also be collected. A new intervention will not be introduced during this trial. Instead, a follow-up regimen will be offered to both groups of patients, so that RT can be offered to the deferred group of patients if/when symptoms develop, and we can monitor symptoms/toxicities and QoL in both groups of patients.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- To determine the pattern of practice for management (immediate radiotherapy, deferred radiotherapy) of patients with ACLA-NSCLC, including reasons, timing and dose fractionation of lung/mediastinal RT [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To describe the patient reported outcomes (symptoms, toxicities and quality of life measures) in patients with ACLA-NSCLC at 4 and 12 months [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To explore the relationship between utility and initial treatment decision (immediate versus deferred) [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To describe the disease status (as per CT imaging) at 4 months [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To describe the overall survival in patients with ACLA-NSCLC [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Population
Patients with Centrally Located Advanced NSCLC who are Asymptomatic and who are not Suitable for Curative Treatment
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC
- Central disease, as defined by tumour (either primary or nodal disease) arising or extending within a 2cm circumferential expansion from the centre of the trachea or within the zone of the proximal bronchial tree
- Disease is visible on thoracic CT (diagnostic or simulation)
- Asymptomatic from intra-thoracic tumour (may have background chest symptoms related to underlying COAD etc, but these symptoms must not have worsened due to tumour)
- Patient (due to age or co-morbidities) or tumour (due to locally advanced or metastatic disease) is not suitable for radical treatment (defined as surgery or RT dose >50Gy in 20 fractions or equivalent).
- Previous chemotherapy, thoracic RT or surgery is allowed
RT to other metastases (e.g. brain, bone etc) is allowed
•≥ 18 years of age
- Able to provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Intra-thoracic disease is peripheral only, not extending within 2cm of trachea/proximal bronchial tree
- Symptomatic from intra-thoracic NSCLC
- Histological diagnosis of small cell lung cancer, or malignant mediastinal lymphadenopathy from another malignancy (not NSCLC)
