About this trial
Palliative radiation is effective for controlling or preventing symptoms such as pain, bleeding, dyspnea, and cord compression. Recently, studies have shown that additional dose escalation may result in superior local control. The investigators propose a phase II single arm trial to evaluate a novel high-dose radiation regimen, which will be 27 Gray in 3 fractions with dose escalation within the tumour (Hi-D).
