Trial of Oligometastasis SBRT With Immediate, Simulation-Free Treatment Delivery (OLIGO-SWIFT)

This study is for participants whose cancer is oligometastatic, meaning it has spread to up to five spots in their body and their doctor recommends that they have stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to treat these cancer sites. SBRT is a type of radiation therapy that may help people with oligometastatic disease live longer without cancer progression. SBRT is usually given in addition to other cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or hormone therapy. Preparing for SBRT can take up to a week or longer. This can make it harder for participants to receive SBRT and coordinate care. This can also mean a longer time until symptoms from cancer sites improve. Doctors would like to treat oligometastatic cancers more quickly by reducing the time it takes to plan for the SBRT. The typical workflow for SBRT includes doctors doing a simulation which requires a CT (Computerized Tomography) scan. The CT scan is used to create a treatment plan. It can take time to schedule this CT scan and then it normally takes another 5-10 days to create a treatment plan. A way to reduce the planning time for SBRT is to use the CT scan (or other radiology scan types, like magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] or positron emission tomography \[PET\]) that participants had when their cancer was diagnosed to plan their SBRT. This eliminates the scheduling of an additional CT scan and the 5-10 day planning time. This is called CTsim-free (CT simulation-free) treatment planning. CT-sim-fr…
