Spine radiation plus cement procedure for spine metastasis
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Have an unclear spine tumor (indeterminate spine metastasis) that can be seen on CT or MRI
- Have a cancer treatment plan that includes stereotactic (high-precision) radiation
- Be able to have the radiation planning scan (CT or MRI, or CT myelogram) needed to map the targets
- Have no more than four spinal levels or separate target spots to treat
- Be well enough for study visits (ECOG 0 to 2) and complete quality-of-life questionnaires in English or Spanish if you choose

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests adding a bone-cement procedure (vertebroplasty) along with radiation to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It is for adults with painful metastatic (spread) tumors in the middle or lower spine, without current spinal cord pressure.
This study tests whether adding a vertebroplasty procedure (a cement injection to stabilize a spine bone) to standard SBRT radiation can reduce pain from spinal metastases. It may help people with painful, possibly unstable spine lesions by improving early pain relief.
This trial tests whether adding precise radiation to a procedure that uses heat and bone cement can better relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It is for people with one or two painful spots in the middle to lower back.
This study compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine. One group receives radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment to destroy tumor cells) plus bone strengthening, followed by radiation. The other group receives radiation alone. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain and prevents spine problems.
This study tests whether radiation given after limited surgery helps control cancer that has spread to a small area of the spine. It may help reduce tumor growth in the treated spine area and improve local control after operation.
This trial compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine: surgery followed by precise radiation versus radiation alone. It aims to see if adding surgery improves pain, movement, and quality of life.
