Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers x-rays directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients who have liver metastases, lung metastases, or other advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the feasibility of fractionated stereotactic body radiosurgery in patients with advanced extracranial tumors.
* Assess the toxicities of this treatment regimen in these patients.
* Determine tumor response and cause of death in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fractionated stereotactic body radiosurgery over 30 minutes for 5-10 days for a total of 3 treatments.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10-25 patients will be accrued within 2-3 years.
