First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single, highly targeted dose of radiation (SBRT) can relieve pain and improve quality of life as well as or better than standard radiation therapy in people whose cancer has spread. About 1,500 participants with metastatic tumors causing symptoms will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see if the shorter, more precise approach reduces side effects and offers similar or better symptom control.
