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 a newer way to deliver stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)—a focused radiation therapy—to treat severe pain caused by cancer in the upper abdomen. Instead of requiring a separate planning scan weeks before treatment, this approach uses existing medical images to create your treatment plan, then adjusts it on the day of treatment using advanced imaging technology. This means you could receive planning and treatment in a single visit.
Many cancer patients experience severe, persistent pain in the upper abdomen when tumors involve the celiac plexus, a cluster of nerves behind the stomach. Current radiation treatment requires a separate planning scan and a wait of 1–2 weeks before therapy begins. This trial aims to speed up the process and reduce the time patients wait while in pain.

You will come in for a single visit where your medical team will use your existing CT scan and advanced imaging technology to create and adjust your radiation treatment plan, then deliver the therapy that same day. The radiation treatment itself takes about 45 minutes, during which you will lie still on a special table. Your care team will monitor how your body is positioned and adjust the treatment in real time to ensure accuracy. You will need to pause any active cancer medications for at least a week before and after your treatment.
