Lattice Radiation for Large Tumors When Other Treatments Won't Help
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Good enough health to tolerate radiation (ECOG score below 2, meaning you can do most daily activities)
- A large tumor (at least 340 cubic centimeters or 7+ cm across) that could benefit from radiation
- No other proven treatment options available (surgery, chemotherapy, standard radiation, or immunotherapy won't help)
- If cancer has spread to the brain, only up to 3 spots and each smaller than 1 cm
- If cancer has spread elsewhere in the body, no more than 5 distant tumors, each 5 cm or smaller

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 trial tests a special type of radiation therapy called lattice radiation for people with large tumors that have spread or are hard to treat. It aims to shrink tumors and ease symptoms, possibly with fewer side effects than standard radiation.
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 trial tests a new way to give radiation called lattice therapy together with immunotherapy drugs that help your immune system fight cancer. It is for people with advanced solid tumors that have grown or spread, with at least one large tumor that can be measured.
This trial tests whether adding a special radiotherapy technique called lattice radiotherapy to your usual cancer treatment can help control NSCLC that has started to grow in a few new spots. If you have up to 5 growing tumors and at least one measures 4.5 cm or larger, this study might be an option.
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.
