Conventionally fractionated radiation therapy given over 6-7 weeks alone, sequentially, or concurrent with chemotherapy have produced poor outcomes in Stage II NSCLC in most series. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has been shown to be very effective and is now standard of care for Stage 1 disease. There has been initially reluctance to utilize SABR for central lung tumors because of published reports that showed an excess of toxicity when SABR was utilized; however, newer data with less intense treatment regimens suggest safety in treatment of central lung disease. The safety and efficacy of SABR in treating hilar nodes or N1 disease currently is not known fully and will be evaluated in this study.
1. Primary Objectives Safety run-in - To determine the safety of SABR for the treatment of primary lung disease and N1 (hilar) node in stage T1-2a N1 NSCLC Phase II - To determine 2-year local control of SABR for T1-2a N1 NSCLC with sequential chemotherapy 2. Secondary Objectives Phase II - To determine overall and progression-free survival times, pattern of failures, and rates of ≥ grade 3 adverse events after SABR for T1-2a N1 NSCLC combined with sequential chemotherapy

NONE
SABR will be delivered to the primary disease and hilar (N1) node over 5 fractions.Reductions may be made to the hilar (N1) node according to a 3+3 design during the run-in period.

Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the run-in period
Any event per CTCAE v.4 that occurs within 30 days from the start of SABR, and is possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment, and is related to a specific list of symptoms which are outlined in the protocol.
Time frame: 30 days
Local control
Failure of disease progression within or immediately adjacent to the treatment planning target volume (PTV) of the lung primary and nodal disease. Failures will be classified as local failures if failing within or immediately adjacent to the N1 or primary tumor PTV, unless judged by the investigator team to convincingly be a separate lesion from the treated lesion (i.e. new lesion within PTV but across a fissure)
Time frame: 2 years
Progression free survival
Length of time during and after the treatment that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse
Time frame: 2 years
Overall survival
Length of time start of treatment that patients are still alive
Time frame: 5 years
Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) at one year
Any event per CTCAE v.4 that occurs within 1 year from the start of SABR, and is possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment, and is related to a specific list of symptoms which are outlined in the protocol.
Time frame: 1 year
