Mirroring the most common cancers treated across the world, primary tumor types in the study were breast, lung, colorectal and prostate. All patients enrolled had one to five new metastatic lesions. Although patients treated with radiotherapy were 20% more likely to suffer adverse events, there was no long-term impairment of quality of life. The study further showed that even with SABR, patients may progress with new metastases, likely due to the presence of micrometastatic disease, but that some can receive salvage therapy with repeat SABR.
