NCT ID NCT03862911

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special type of radiation called SABR can help people who have 1 to 3 spots where their cancer has spread. About 330 adults with controlled primary tumors will either get standard care alone or standard care plus SABR. The goal is to see if SABR improves survival, delays cancer growth, and maintains quality of life.
