5-Day radiation blast shows promise for containing spread of solid tumors

This study tested a 5-day course of high-dose radiation therapy (SBRT) for people with solid tumors that have spread to up to 5 spots in the body. The goal was to see if giving a stronger dose to the tumor while protecting normal tissue could control the disease and limit side effects. 138 participants were followed for one year to track how well the treated spots responded and any side effects.
