Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interest of breath holding for the prevention of radiation pneumonitis following conformal radiation therapy. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned ...

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives are: * Validation of the Lent-Soma toxicity scale by comparison to the RTOG scale, * Response rate at different times: week 6-8, 1 year and 2 years after the end of irradiati...
