Surgery and quality of life for spinal tumor patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies how surgery for a type of spinal tumor (called a juxta-medullary tumor) affects your recovery and quality of life. Researchers want to learn from patients like you to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a tumor in the spine that is just inside the spinal canal but not growing into the spinal cord
- You are able to understand and agree to join the study
- You have not had this type of tumor spread from another cancer (metastasis)
- Your tumor does not start in the bone itself

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.
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 study is creating a registry (a database) to gather information about people with spinal tumors who are undergoing surgery. By joining, you help doctors better understand these tumors and improve future treatments.
This study is a research registry that collects information from people with a primary spine tumor (or history of one) to better understand outcomes. It may help your care team by contributing your real-world data, but it is mainly about tracking rather than giving a specific new treatment.
This study looks at how well people recover from paralysis caused by cancer that has spread to the spine, after they have surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. The goal is to find out what factors help or hinder recovery, so doctors can better predict outcomes for future patients.
This trial compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine: surgery followed by precise radiation versus radiation alone. It aims to see if adding surgery improves pain, movement, and quality of life.
