Predicting spinal tumor radiation outcomes with imaging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses MRI and CT scans to predict how well spinal tumors respond to a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery. It aims to help doctors personalize treatment based on your imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal tumor that can be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are able to undergo MRI scans (no metal implants or severe claustrophobia).
- You have had CT, MRI, or PET-CT scans before and after treatment.
- You have not had prior surgery on the affected vertebra that could interfere with imaging (like kyphoplasty or screws).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no allergy to MRI contrast dye.

This trial tests a precise type of radiation (stereotactic radiotherapy) for spinal tumors or cancer that has spread to the spine. It aims to study how best to target the radiation to improve treatment 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 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 study tests giving a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) to the spine shortly after surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to improve control of the cancer in the spine and reduce the chance of it coming back.
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 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.
