Description

80 patients with confirmed metastatic tumor (>2.5 cm in short axis) will be enrolled, all ≥ 12 years of age with ECOG ≤ 2. All genders and races will be included.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically, cytologically, or radiographically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic cancer
  • One to two metastases in non-brain sites that are amenable to LATTICE radiotherapy: >2.5 cm in short axis (dimension on axial imaging that is perpendicular to the longest dimension); bone metastasis can be included if the extraosseous component is >2.5 cm in short axis
  • Age ≥12
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-2
  • For patients age 12-16, Lansky Play-Performance score 50-100
  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to enrollment of people of childbearing potential
  • All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent. For any child less than 18 years of age, assent must also be obtained in addition to parental or legal guardian consent.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Prior radiation therapy to the tumor to be treated
  • Active pregnancy
  • Diseases that place the patient at high risk of radiation complications including lupus, scleroderma, Li Fraumeni syndrome
  • The tumor to be treated is from a hematologic malignancy such as lymphoma or myeloma
