Lattice radiation for large tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer (any type except certain blood cancers or germ cell tumors).
- You have a tumor outside the brain that is at least 4.5 centimeters (about 1.8 inches) in size.
- You are planning to receive radiation therapy to help with symptoms or control the tumor.
- Your doctor expects you to live at least 3 more months.
- You are able to care for yourself and are not bedridden (ECOG score 3 or less).
- You are not currently receiving certain other cancer treatments (like chemotherapy or specific targeted drugs) that would overlap with this 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 higher doses of radiation therapy to relieve symptoms from larger tumors that cannot be cured. The goal is to improve symptom control and quality of life.
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 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 compares two types of radiation therapy — lattice and conventional — to find which is better at reducing pain from large tumors that cannot be surgically removed. You'll also receive standard pain management, and the study helps decide if the newer lattice technique is more effective with fewer side effects.
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.
