Planning radiation for spinal tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spinal tumor (cancer that started in the spine) or cancer that has spread to your spine
- You have had imaging scans (like MRI or CT) of your spine before treatment
- You are expected to live more than 3 months
- You have not had radiation therapy to your spine before
- You are able to cooperate with imaging and follow-up appointments after treatment

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.
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 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 is testing a very precise radiation technique called SBRT for tumors that have spread to the spine. It aims to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
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.
