Comparing two SBRT methods for multiple cancer spots
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving high-precision radiation (SBRT) to multiple cancer spots outside the brain. It aims to see if using one radiation plan for all spots is as effective and safe as using separate plans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer that has spread to areas outside the brain (like lungs, liver, bones, or lymph nodes).
- You have at least two separate spots of spread that can be treated with a single radiation plan.
- You have not had radiation for these spots before that would cause too much harm if repeated.
- No cancer spots touch your stomach, intestines, or skin.
- If you could become pregnant, you must use reliable birth control during the study.

This study tests whether a focused, high-precision type of radiation can control many cancer spread-out spots (“metastases”) at the same time, while keeping side effects acceptable. It may help people with many metastases live longer or have better disease control by aiming treatment at every treatable spot.
This trial tests whether high-precision radiation (SBRT) can improve outcomes for people with up to 5 small, stable metastases from certain cancers, compared to usual palliative care. It is for those whose disease is not growing after current chemotherapy.
This trial compares two types of radiation for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain (10 or fewer spots). One approach uses focused radiation only on the tumors, the other treats the whole brain while trying to protect memory. The goal is to see which works better with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a faster way to give radiation to people with a few spots of cancer that have spread. They use a special scan to plan treatment right away, so you may not need a separate planning visit.
This trial compares giving stereotactic ablative radiotherapy as one larger treatment plan versus several smaller plans for people who have only a few cancer spots (or a few spots that are worsening). It may help control metastatic disease while aiming to protect surrounding healthy organs.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve symptoms from advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured. One is a shorter, more precise treatment (SBRT), and the other is standard radiation. The goal is to see which better improves quality of life and reduces side effects.
