The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) on non‐consecutive days will improve the chance of curing non‐small cell lung cancer compared to treatment with SBRT on consecutive days. In either case, the dose of radiation is the same. Non‐consecutive treatments will be at least 40 hours apart and no more than 100 hours apart. The total course of treatment will be 8‐12 days. Consecutive treatments will be daily over 4‐5 days within one calendar week. The total course of treatment will be 4‐5 days. The study team will assess if DNA from the tumor can be found in the blood to determine which patients respond quickest to radiotherapy. These results will not be made available to participants and will not change treatment.
