Preventive radiation to reduce bone complications in metastatic cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to spots where cancer has spread to the bone can prevent future bone problems like fractures. It's for people who have a few bone metastases that aren't causing severe pain yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You have a solid tumor cancer that has spread to other parts of the body
- You have up to 5 bone metastases that are considered high-risk, but they aren't causing severe pain
- You are able to care for yourself (ECOG 0-2)
- You haven't had radiation to these specific bone spots before
- You don't have spinal cord compression or significant pain that needs strong painkillers

This trial tests whether giving radiation to certain bone tumors early can prevent bone problems like fractures or spinal cord pressure. It is for people with solid cancers that have spread to the bones but are not yet causing pain or high-risk damage.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy early to high-risk but pain-free or nearly pain-free bone metastases can prevent future problems, compared to waiting and monitoring them. It is for people whose cancer has spread to multiple bones and who have certain risky features in those spots.
This trial tests a single session of radiation therapy to relieve pain and improve stability in up to two bone spots where cancer has spread. The goal is to make treatment faster and more convenient for patients.
This trial studies a type of focused radiation given in smaller parts to treat bone metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of pain or growth when standard treatments haven’t worked or surgery isn’t possible.
This study follows adults with cancer that has spread to the bones and who are receiving radiation treatment. It looks at how interventional (procedure-based) treatment decisions affect outcomes by using information collected during routine care.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
