Some people with metastatic cancer have disease that is limited to only a few sites (oligomestatic). Researchers are studying whether using radiation on these individual sites can improve outcomes. One approach is using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), a highly targeted form of radiation designed to treat specific tumors while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
