Surgery for spinal cord tumors that spread from other cancers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is for adults who have a specific type of spinal cord tumor that has spread from another cancer. It looks at how well a surgery called microsurgical resection works to remove the tumor and what happens to patients before and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with a type of tumor inside the spinal cord that has spread from another part of the body (intramedullary spinal cord metastasis)
- You were admitted to a hospital for treatment of this condition
- Your medical records from before and after surgery are available for review

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new approach for people whose cancer has spread to the spine and is pressing on the spinal cord. It combines surgery with radiation to relieve pressure and improve symptoms.
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
This study tests a new, fast, CT-guided radiation treatment for people whose cancer has spread to the spine and is pressing on the spinal cord. It aims to quickly relieve symptoms, and is designed for those who are not eligible or do not want surgery.
This study compares two types of spinal surgery combined with radiation for people whose cancer has spread to the spine in a limited way (no more than 5 spots). It aims to find which approach better controls pain, tumor growth, and spinal stability.
This study is collecting information from patients with spinal cord glioma who are having surgery through a specific surgical approach (dorsolateral sulcus). It aims to learn how well the surgery works and what the recovery looks like over time.
This trial tests a treatment that gives radiation directly to the tumor during surgery to remove spinal metastases. It may help people with unstable spines and limited spinal cord compression.
