SBRT for spinal tumors with possible spinal cord pressure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at treating spinal metastases (spread to the spine from a solid cancer) using SBRT, a focused type of radiation. It aims to control tumor growth and relieve or prevent spinal cord compression, sometimes alongside surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- Your imaging shows a spinal metastasis from a solid (non-blood) cancer.
- There is spinal cord compression that is imminent or already happening (this may cause symptoms like weakness, numbness, or pain, but symptoms may or may not be present).
- You can take part by signing informed consent (you or a legally authorized representative/proxy).
- Your doctors plan treatment with surgery plus SBRT, or if surgery is not possible, SBRT alone.
- You have not had radiation (SBRT or similar) to the same spine level before, and you can still safely receive additional SBRT there.

This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) on the same day as spine surgery to stabilize the spine helps control symptoms from spinal metastases. It may help reduce pain and improve stability, especially when tumors threaten or affect the spine’s strength.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in reducing the tumor while protecting your spinal cord and improving your quality of life.
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation before surgery can improve treatment for spinal tumors that have spread from other cancers. It may help people who need surgery for a spinal tumor and have a life expectancy of more than 6 months.
This trial is testing a very precise radiation technique called SBRT for tumors that have spread to the spine. It aims to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy given after spine surgery to treat cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to reduce pressure on the spinal cord and help control the disease with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether adding a precise type of radiation (called SBRT) to a procedure that stabilizes the spine or shrinks the tumor (radiofrequency ablation or vertebroplasty) can better reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It might help people whose pain is not controlled by usual treatments.
