Precise Radiation for Spine Tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a tumor that has spread to your spine or a tumor that started in your spine.
- Your doctor has said you are a candidate for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), a precise type of radiation.
- You can lie still and comfortably for the planning and treatment sessions.
- You do not need urgent surgery or other treatments right now for your spine.

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 trial tests a treatment that gives radiation directly to the tumor during surgery to remove spinal metastases. It may help people with unstable spines and limited spinal cord compression.
This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
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 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.
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.
