Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged 18 years or older
2. Capacity to give written, informed consent
3. WHO performance status 0-2
4. Histologically or radiologically confirmed lymph node or bone oligometastatic disease in the abdomen or pelvis limited to < = 3 lesions in total
5. All metastases must be visible on imaging and be suitable for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy in the lower abdomen and pelvis as per the NHS England Commissioning through Evaluation criteria or the Conventional care versus radioablation (stereotactic body radiotherapy) for extracranial oligometastases (CORE) study
6. Predicted life expectancy > 6 months
7. No co-morbid conditions likely to impact on the advisability of SABR (e.g. previous inflammatory bowel disease, previous abdominal or pelvic surgery, significant bladder instability or urinary incontinence, clinically significant renal or hepatic impairment)
8. No comorbidities likely to impact on safety of administration of HBB (for example severe cardiac disease, recent cardiac event, cardiac tachyarrhythmias, angle closure glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, pyloric stenosis, porphyria, severe ulcerative colitis, paralytic ileus, obstructive uropathy or allergy to HBB)
9. No bilateral prosthetic hips- this would prevent use of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) solution for SABR
10. Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial

Exclusion Criteria

No comorbidities likely to impact on safety of administration of HBB (for example severe cardiac disease, recent cardiac event, cardiac tachyarrythmias, angle closure glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, pyloric stenosis, porphyria, severe ulcerative colitis, paralytic ileus, obstructive uropathy or allergy to hyoscine butylbromide)
