        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the
             requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this
             protocol. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization obtained
             from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol- related
             procedures.

          -  Patient age ≥ 18 at time of consent

          -  Early stage NSCLC (Stage I to IIIA; T1-4 excluding patients with satellite nodules in
             the same or ipsilateral lobes, N0; AJCC 8th edition)

          -  Ineligible for or unwilling to undergo surgical resection. Reasons for surgical
             ineligibility include: medically inoperable or surgically unresectable (due to tumor
             size, location etc.), as assessed by MSKCC thoracic surgeon or multi-disciplinary
             tumor board consensus. Reasons for ineligibility or patient's unwillingness to undergo
             surgical resection must be clearly documented.

          -  Histological and/or cytological confirmation of NSCLC as per standard of care biopsy;
             no additional research protocol-specific biopsy is needed.

             ° If, after candidates have been planned for RT, they are unable to be treated with
             the institutional dose constraints as listed in the appendix, they will be labeled
             ineligible and removed from the study. Ineligible patients will be replaced.

          -  A PFS of <60% (at least 40% risk for disease progression) at 2 years based on an

             been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following
             age- specific requirements apply:

               -  Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been
                  amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal
