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).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 or older.

Able to provide informed consent

Patient has histologically confirmed solid tumour malignancy

ECOG performance status 0 - 2

Disqualifiers

Hematologic malignancy

Disease limited to intracranial sites

Serious medical co-morbidities precluding radiotherapy

Prior radiation to target lesion that precludes delivery of repeat radiation. All such cases should be discussed with the local and study PIs.
