Short-interval radiation after spine surgery for metastatic cancer
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests giving a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) to the spine shortly after surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to improve control of the cancer in the spine and reduce the chance of it coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have cancer that has spread to your spine (metastasis).
- You have had spine surgery within the last 13 days or are planning to have it soon.
- You must be able to have MRI scans.
- You must be at least 18 years old and reasonably healthy (able to care for yourself).

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 higher dose of radiation (a boost) to painful spots in the spine where cancer has spread. The goal is to see if it can better relieve pain and improve function.
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.
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 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.
