Brief Summary

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

Patients with metastatic cancer are usually treated with systemic therapy (treating the entire body) with the assumption that any localized treatment of clinically apparent metastases would not impact survival. In the setting of increasingly effective systemic therapy and limited metastatic disease, aggressive treatment to clinically active sites of disease (alone or in addition to systemic therapy) may improve survival.

Detailed Description

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

Up to recently it has been assumed that in the setting of metastatic solid tumors, locoregional control of clinically apparent metastases does not substantially impact survival due to undetectable micrometastic (clinically not visualized) disease that ultimately lead to treatment failure/progression. However, as more advanced systemic therapy continue to improve control of micrometastatic disease, failures at the original sites of disease remain common. Furthermore, some studies have shown locoregional treatment of limited clinical metastases to actually improve survival. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that aggressive treatment to clinically active sites of disease (alone or in addition to systemic therapy) may improve survival or alter the course of the disease in some patients with limited metastatic disease.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Definitive locoregional treatment

All sites of active disease should be treated definitively (with one of the interventions listed below). Definitive treatment does not have to be the same for all sites of disease.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Complete Surgical Removal

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Intervention Type RADIATION

Ablative external beam radiation dose

Intervention Type RADIATION

Subtotal surgical removal plus ablative radiation dose

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Residual tumor or close/positive margins should be followed by ablative radiation doses (by either stereotactic radiosurgery or convential EBRT) to constitute definitive locoregional treatment

Radioembolization

Intervention Type RADIATION

radioembolization of the liver with Y-90 microspheres or other site-appropriate techniques

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 4 or less distinct sites of active disease. Locoregional disease counts as one site
* All sites of disease can safely be encompassed by radiation fields to doses ≥ 45 Gy (biologic equivalent dose) and/or removed completely with surgery and/or completely ablated with other appropriate site-specific techniques.
* sufficient blood cell counts and adequate liver function

Exclusion Criteria

* Hematologic malignancies
* Distinct sites of disease \> 4
* Karnofsky Performance Status \< 70
