Study of surgery for broken bones from metastatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken bone (fracture) caused by metastatic cancer
- The fracture was treated with surgery using an implant such as an endoprosthesis, intramedullary nail, or plate and screws
- The bone problem is not a new primary bone tumor (not cancer that started in the bone)
- You did not receive only non-surgical (“conservative”) treatment
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease that affects nerves or muscles
- The fracture is not around an existing implant (not periprosthetic)
- You can be followed for at least 1 month after surgery

This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
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 having surgery to remove the breast tumor versus not having surgery in women whose breast cancer has spread only to their bones. The goal is to see which approach helps you live longer or better.
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 tests a special screw that stabilizes pelvic bone fractures in cancer patients without major surgery. It aims to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
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.
