Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with documented metastatic disease who are receiving or have received ablative radiotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have metastatic disease or are not receiving ablative radiotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to create a registry of patients undergoing ablative radiotherapy for metastatic disease. It focuses on collecting data to evaluate the rates of acute adverse events associated with this treatment approach. Participants must be at least 18 years old and have radiographic evidence of metastatic disease, with plans to receive or having received hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy. The study will help in understanding the safety profile of this treatment modality in a real-world setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and adverse effects of ablative radiotherapy, improving patient management and treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on ablative radiotherapy, this registry approach to specifically assess acute adverse events is relatively novel.
