Targeted radiation for spine tumors that have not compressed the spinal cord
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for tumors that have spread to the spine but have not yet caused spinal cord compression. The goal is to control the tumor and reduce symptoms while protecting the spinal cord.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed solid tumor that has spread to the spine (between the neck and lower back).
- The tumor is near the spinal cord but is not causing symptoms of spinal cord compression, like weakness or numbness.
- You are able to lie flat for at least 30 minutes without severe pain.
- You have not had surgery on the same part of the spine that will be treated.
- The tumor involves no more than three vertebrae in a row.
- You have not had radiation to the spine before that would make further treatment unsafe.

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 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 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 focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
This trial tests a stronger, carefully measured form of radiation aimed at a small number of spots where cancer has spread to the spine. It may help control pain and tumor growth while protecting the spinal cord.
This trial tests a precise radiation technique for people whose spinal tumors are very close to the spinal cord or nerves. It aims to safely give higher radiation doses while limiting damage to the cord.
