Clinical Trials Robert Olson is currently running
SABR Techniques
for Metastatic Disease
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) is a modern RT technique that delivers high doses of radiation to small tumor targets using highly conformal techniques, while trying to avoid healthy tissues and organs. However, SABR treatment requires increased planning, treatment time, cost and potential for higher toxicity due to the higher dose. The purpose of this study is to compare single fraction (SF) SABR vs. multiple fraction (MF) SABR in regards to toxicities, progression-free survival, quality of life (QoL), and cost-effectiveness. In a subset of patients, we will also compare patient QoL, hospitalization rates, and cost-effectiveness between patients who complete QoL questionnaires, record symptoms and receive healthcare provider-guided intervention vs. patients who complete QoL questionnaires only.
