Stereotactic body radiation therapy for spinal metastases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your cancer must be a solid tumor (not blood cancer like myeloma or lymphoma).
- The cancer must have spread to your spine, and doctors must confirm it is stable or has been treated to make it stable.
- The affected area on your spine must be limited to 3 or fewer bones in a row, and it must be above the lower end of the spinal cord.
- You must be able to have an MRI and lie flat for at least 30 minutes.
- You must not have had radiation to the same spot before, and you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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.
This study tests giving a precise, high-dose radiation treatment (called SBRT) to the spine shortly after surgery to remove a tumor. The goal is to improve control of the cancer in the spine and reduce the chance of it coming back.
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 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 trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) on the same day as spine surgery to stabilize the spine helps control symptoms from spinal metastases. It may help reduce pain and improve stability, especially when tumors threaten or affect the spine’s strength.
