About this trial
This protocol is comprised of three unblinded, randomized, single-center studies to evaluate the impact of immediate versus three-month delayed comprehensive ablative treatment on survival in newly diagnosed metastatic patients with lung (Trial 1), colorectal (Trial 2), and prostate (Trial 3) cancers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall Survival - Trial 1 and 2
Calculated from the time of randomization until death
Androgen DeprivationTherapy (ADT)-free survival - Trial 3
The time from radomization until receipt of ADT, death due to any cause, end of study or last follow up.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Quality of Life
Quality of life will be assessed using The EORTC Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC-QLC30). This questionnaire measures cancer patients' physical, psychological and social functions. This 30 item questionnaire ranges from 1 (not at all ) to 4 (Very much) except for the global health status/quality-of-life scale, which has response options ranging from (1) "very poor" to (7) "excellent"
Physician determined Radiation related toxicity
To document toxicity in patients using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 5 for each organ treated
