Radiation therapy after spine tumor removal surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You had separation surgery (surgery to remove cancer from your spine) within the last 3 weeks
- The surgery removed cancer that started somewhere else in your body and spread to your spine
- Your doctors expect you to live at least 6 more months
- You are healthy enough to receive radiation therapy
- You have not enrolled in another drug or device trial in the past 3 months

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.
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 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 compares two types of spinal surgery combined with radiation for people whose cancer has spread to the spine in a limited way (no more than 5 spots). It aims to find which approach better controls pain, tumor growth, and spinal stability.
This trial is testing whether a single radiation treatment to spine tumors works as well as multiple smaller treatments. It may be an option if you have cancer that has spread to up to 3 spots in your spine.
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.
