Early Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy or High-Dose Radiotherapy in Treating Patients with Metastatic Breast or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how well early stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or high-dose radiotherapy works in treating patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). SBRT or high-dose radiotherapy has been shown to shrink or stabilize breast and non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether starting SBRT or high-dose radiotherapy when metastatic tumors have just begun to grow will extend life, compared with the usual approach to managing breast or non-small cell lung cancer.
