This study will evaluate the feasibility of radiosurgery for all metastatic sites in patients presenting with oligometastatic disease, defined here as 5 or fewer sites of metastatic disease involving 3 or fewer organ systems.
Death from metastatic cancer is a common cause of death, accounting for 80-90% of cancer deaths. The classic thought process is that metastatic disease represents the continuum such that known metastatic disease is an inevitable harbinger for subsequent metastatic disease. However, it has been reported that a subset of patients with limited volume metastatic disease may have a better prognosis if given aggressive therapy. This group of patients has become known as "oligometastatic". These patients are potentially curable with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) (collectively referred to as stereotactic body radiotherapy or SBRT) to the metastatic disease sites in combination with standard curative therapy to the primary site. Patients in this study receive SRS/SBRT to all sites of oligometastatic disease.

Dose and fractionation will be dependent on the lesion location and lesion size, the exact fractionation and dose is at the discretion of the treating physician. A minimum of 48 hours must be used in between SRS treatments at each site. Patients may have SRS everyday or multiple SRS sessions in one day as long as the minimum time for each treatment site is met.
Chemotherapy choice of agents is at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist.

Acceptable Toxicity of SRS/SBRT
Number of distinct patients with toxicities of Grade 3 or less per CTCAE v4.0
Time frame: Up to 3 Years (per patient)
Presence of Multiple Metastatic Sites
The presence of multiple metastatic disease sites (between 2 and 5 sites).
Time frame: Up to 3 years (per patient)
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) Quality of Life Score
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) Quality of life Assessment is a patient self-administered 27-item questionnaire that measures health state in cancer patients in prior 7 days, including physical (PW), social (SW), emotional (EW), and functional (FW) well-being. Scoring: Five-point scale for each of the subscales is: 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). PW has a Score range from 0-28. SW has a Score range from 0-28. EW has a Score range from 0-24. FW has a Score range from 0-28. Total overall score is thus from minimum of 0 to maximum of 108. Questions are phrased so that higher numbers indicate a better health state, leading to some items being reverse-scored.
Time frame: At pre-treatment

Local Control of Metastatic Disease
Proportion of patients with local Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) after trial therapy as measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 at sites of metastatic disease. Per RECIST: (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. (SD) Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.
Time frame: Up to 5 years (per patient)
Local Control of Primary Disease
Proportion of patients with local Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) after trial therapy as measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 at primary disease sites. Per RECIST: (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. (SD) Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.
Time frame: Up to 5 years
Analysis of Patterns of Failure Post-SRS/SBRT
The number of patients that experience oligometastatic disease progression/recurrence after treatment for their primary disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 at primary disease sites. Per RECIST, Progressive Disease (PD) includes the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Time frame: Up to 5 years (per patient)
Two-year Overall Survival
Percentage of participants alive at 2 years post start of treatment.
Time frame: At 2 years (cohort)
Overall Survival (OS)
Mean number of months patients remain alive from the day of trial enrollment until either an death from any cause or last follow-up.
Time frame: Up to 5 years (cohort)
