Summary
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to see which is more effective and how it affects the tumor's ability to be attacked by the immune system. #LRTvsSBRT
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors needing palliative radiation, who have at least one other site of metastasis suitable for radiation. They must be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1) and understand the study's risks. It's not for those previously radiated at the same sites, with uncontrolled conditions like infections or diabetes, on steroids, pregnant/breastfeeding, having a second active cancer, or unable to follow study procedures.
What is being tested?
The trial compares two types of radiation therapy: Lattice Radiation Therapy (LRT) and standard Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). The goal is to see which method is more effective and how they influence immune cells' ability to attack tumor cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Radiation therapy side effects can include skin reactions where treated, fatigue, nausea, pain at treatment site. Long-term effects might involve damage to nearby organs/tissues depending on where the radiation targets.
