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 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 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 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 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 study tests whether adding a precise type of radiation (called SBRT) to a procedure that stabilizes the spine or shrinks the tumor (radiofrequency ablation or vertebroplasty) can better reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It might help people whose pain is not controlled by usual treatments.
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.
