First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving precise radiation (SBRT) to tumors that have just started to grow can help people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. About 107 adults took part. The goal is to see if early radiation can delay the need for stronger treatments.
