Higher dose spine radiation for limited spread cancers
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a higher dose of focused radiation (SABR) for people whose solid cancer has spread to the spine in a few spots. The goal is to control those tumors with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- Your doctor expects you to live more than 6 months
- You have a solid tumor that has spread to your spine, but not more than 5 spots total
- You are able to lie flat for up to one hour
- You have not had radiation or surgery to the same spine area before

This trial tests whether lower radiation doses work well for treating cancer that has spread to the spine. If you have a few spine tumors that are stable or causing symptoms, this study might help doctors find safer, faster treatment options.
This trial tests a new way of giving high-dose radiation to solid tumors that have spread to the spine. It is for people whose spine is stable, have not had prior treatment to that area, and have only minor weakness (if any).
This trial tests whether adding focused, high-dose radiation (SABR) to standard drug therapy can better control cancer that has spread to a few spots in the body. It is for people starting or resuming cancer medicines for newly found or growing metastases.
This trial tests a stronger, carefully measured form of radiation aimed at a small number of spots where cancer has spread to the spine. It may help control pain and tumor growth while protecting the spinal cord.
This trial tests whether a precise form of high-dose radiation can control up to 1–5 breast cancer metastases (spread) in a few body areas. It may help by focusing treatment only on visible spots while limiting radiation to the rest of the body.
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.
