Preventive radiation for bone tumors that spread from solid cancers
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have a solid cancer (like breast, lung, or prostate) that has spread to the bones
- Your bone tumors are not causing pain that needs radiation now, and are not at high risk of breaking
- You are expected to live more than 6 months
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and can have an MRI if the tumors are in the spine

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.
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 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.
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 tests whether preventive (before serious problems happen) radiation to the spine can help people with high-risk, mostly symptom-free bone metastases. It may reduce the chance of pain escalation or dangerous complications from cancer in the spine.
