Pre-surgery radiation for spinal tumors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 giving radiation treatment directly during surgery to remove spinal tumors. For people with cancer that has spread to the spine, this approach might help relieve pain and improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) on the same day as spine surgery to stabilize the spine helps control symptoms from spinal metastases. It may help reduce pain and improve stability, especially when tumors threaten or affect the spine’s strength.
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 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 tests whether radiation therapy after surgery to remove cancer that has spread to the spine improves outcomes. You may be a good fit if you recently had this surgery and your doctors think you'll live at least 6 more months.
