Shorter radiation blasts: 1 day vs. 3 days for spreading cancer
NCT ID NCT01223248
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to give high-dose radiation to control cancer that has spread to bones, the spine, soft tissue, or lymph nodes. It compares giving all the radiation in one day versus spreading it over three days, using precise imaging to target the tumor and spare healthy tissue. The goal is to see which schedule is better at keeping the treated area cancer-free and which has fewer side effects.
