Summary

This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer that are spreading to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to determine if giving radiation therapy to patients who are being treated with immunotherapy and whose cancers are progressing (getting worse) can slow or stop the growth of their cancers. It may also help researchers determine if giving radiation therapy to one tumor can stimulate the immune system to attack other tumors in the body that are not targeted by the radiation therapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at whether adding targeted radiation therapy to ongoing immunotherapy (cancer immune treatment) can help patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers whose disease is still growing despite immunotherapy alone. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a confirmed GI cancer (such as stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic, or anal cancer) that has spread - You are currently on immunotherapy but your cancer is still progressing - You have at least two sites of cancer, and at least one site needs radiation for symptom control - Your overall health is reasonably good (able to care for yourself) - Your life expectancy is more than 6 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not have metastatic GI cancer - Your cancer is not progressing on immunotherapy - You are not currently receiving immunotherapy - You are pregnant - You do not have adequate organ function Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
