Radiation therapy for limb cancers
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how radiation therapy works for cancers in the arms or legs, including primary tumors and cancers that have spread there. It aims to understand the best ways to use radiation for treatment or pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting radiation for a cancer in your arm or leg.
- This includes new cancers, cancers that came back, or cancers that spread there from elsewhere.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- Radiation is the only treatment for your limb cancer (no radiation to other body parts).

This trial tests whether giving radiation to certain bone tumors early can prevent bone problems like fractures or spinal cord pressure. It is for people with solid cancers that have spread to the bones but are not yet causing pain or high-risk damage.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to spots where cancer has spread to the bone can prevent future bone problems like fractures. It's for people who have a few bone metastases that aren't causing severe pain yet.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy early to high-risk but pain-free or nearly pain-free bone metastases can prevent future problems, compared to waiting and monitoring them. It is for people whose cancer has spread to multiple bones and who have certain risky features in those spots.
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 aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
