New radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the body
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a newer radiation technique called LATTICE radiotherapy compared to standard radiation for treating cancer tumors that have spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to see if the new approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your cancer must have spread from the original site (metastatic cancer) and be confirmed by biopsy, imaging, or other testing
- You have 1–2 tumors outside the brain that are larger than 2.5 cm across (roughly 1 inch)
- You are at least 12 years old
- Your overall health/ability to do daily activities is good to moderate (ECOG score of 0–2)
- You have never received radiation therapy to the tumor being treated in this study
- You do not have lupus, scleroderma, Li Fraumeni syndrome, or blood cancers like lymphoma or myeloma

This study tests a new way to deliver radiation called lattice therapy for people with large solid tumors that are causing symptoms. It aims to give a stronger radiation dose to help shrink the tumor and relieve discomfort.
This study is for people with solid tumors that have spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) in the body. It tests whether using a focused treatment like radiation or ablation on those spots can help control the cancer long-term.
This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
This trial tests a special type of focused radiation therapy (called SBRT-Lattice) for large tumors in patients who can't benefit from surgery, chemotherapy, or standard radiation. The radiation uses a lattice pattern designed to treat the tumor while protecting healthy tissue nearby.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy called lattice radiotherapy (LRT) for people with large tumors that cannot be cured with standard treatments. It aims to deliver high doses of radiation to the center of the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue, potentially controlling the tumor and improving quality of life.
This phase 3 trial tests a newer radiation technique called Lattice Radiation Therapy against standard radiation for people with large solid tumors (over 5 cm) that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard radiation. The goal is to see if the newer approach provides better pain relief and tumor control.
