Summary

This study tests a special radiation technique called spatially fractionated radiation (SFR) that delivers a single treatment through a grid, instead of multiple sessions. It aims to relieve symptoms like pain in 50 people with large tumors (over 8 cm) or tumors that resist standard radiation. The goal is to see if this one-time approach is safe, effective, and more convenient than traditional palliative radiation.
