Register study for surgery patients with long-bone bone metastases
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial collects and follows information about people who had surgery to treat cancer that spread to their long bones (like the femur or humerus) to prevent or fix a broken bone. It may help doctors better understand outcomes after these surgeries and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer that spread to a long bone (not the spine).
- You were treated with surgery on the long bone.
- Your surgery used an intramedullary nail (a rod inside the bone) or an endoprosthetic replacement.
- The reason for surgery was an “impending fracture” (risk of breaking) or a pathologic fracture (bone broke because of the cancer).
- Your bone metastases must not be in the spine.

This study is a national database that collects information from people with cancer that has spread to their bones from a solid tumor. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about bone metastases and improve care for future patients.
This trial looks back at past patients to compare two types of surgery for broken or weak thigh bones caused by cancer that spread. It helps doctors understand which option—a metal nail or a joint replacement—works better.
This trial looks at outcomes after surgery to stabilize a broken bone caused by cancer that has spread (metastatic cancer). It may help by improving how doctors plan and measure results after specific types of bone stabilization surgery.
This study is creating a registry to track information about people with bone metastases (cancer that has spread to the bones) who need treatment for symptoms. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions.
This study follows adults with cancer that has spread to the bones and who are receiving radiation treatment. It looks at how interventional (procedure-based) treatment decisions affect outcomes by using information collected during routine care.
This trial compares two types of metal rods (short and long) used to fix broken or weakened thigh bones caused by cancer. The goal is to find out which rod works better for patients, which could help improve treatment for this condition.
