Neoplasms, Metastatic
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Neoplasms, Metastatic
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥ 18 years KPS ≥ 70 Palliative: Disease most likely to be life limiting, is definable, and treatable to a sterilizing dose according to protocol criteria. The size of the lesion must be such that it can be safely treated to sterilizing radiation doses according to the rules in the protocol Previously treated lesions are not eligible unless the prescribed dose can be safely delivered. Previously enrolled patients can be retreated to new lesions if they still meet protocol requirements. Informed consent must be obtained. Pregnancy test must be negative for women of child bearing potential. Out of state patients are eligible, if communication with the referring physicians is expected to be adequate to address the primary aim. The secondary aim (blood cytokines) is optional for out-of-state patients.

Failure to meet inclusion requirements Contraindications to radiation. Patient should not be eligible for primary disease specific radiosurgical protocols
