This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)—a form of high-dose, precisely targeted radiation—works better when added to your standard cancer treatment compared to standard treatment alone. You would be randomly assigned to receive either standard treatment alone, or standard treatment plus SBRT to all sites where your cancer has spread. The goal is to see if this combined approach helps patients live longer.
When cancer spreads to only a few sites in the body (called oligometastatic disease), doctors believe treating those specific spots aggressively might improve survival. This trial is testing whether the new radiation approach can do that better than standard care alone.

If you join this trial, you would be randomly placed into one of two groups: one receiving standard treatment alone, and the other receiving standard treatment plus specialized radiation therapy to all visible cancer sites. Your standard treatment would be decided by your doctor based on your type of cancer and might include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy. You would receive radiation therapy (if assigned to that group) in either 1, 3, or 5 sessions depending on the size and location of each lesion, and you would be followed closely with imaging and clinic visits to monitor how you respond.
