BONE METASTASES

This study looks at whether giving radiation therapy early to people with cancer that has spread to the bones (but who have no or very mild pain) can prevent future bone complications like fractures or spinal cord pressure. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to eith…

This study is testing a highly precise radiation technique called SBRT for people with cancer that has spread to the spine. The goal is to deliver a strong dose of radiation while protecting nearby healthy tissue. Researchers will track side effects and how well the treatment con…

This study looks at how well freezing bone tumors (cryoablation) works to control cancer that has spread to the bones. It involves 50 adults with a limited number of bone metastases from solid tumors. The goal is to see if this treatment can stop tumor growth, ease pain, and impr…

This study tests whether adding a non-opioid painkiller (ketorolac) to standard opioid pain medicine can reduce the amount of opioids needed after preventive thigh bone surgery. The surgery is for patients with cancer that has spread to the thigh bone but who do not have a broken…

This study tests whether a single, quick radiation treatment for painful bone metastases can be done in just one hospital visit, without the usual planning session. About 40 adults with one or two painful bone spots will receive this streamlined therapy. The goal is to see if it'…

This study looks at a procedure called arterial embolization to treat bone metastases (cancer that has spread to the bones). The goal is to reduce pain and improve quality of life with a minimally invasive approach. Researchers will follow 60 participants to measure pain levels a…

This study tests whether a newer, more precise type of radiation (SBRT) works better than standard radiation for easing pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. About 220 adults with solid tumors or multiple myeloma who have pain in their bones will take part. The goal is t…

This study is collecting information from 2500 people with cancer that has spread to their bones. The goal is to better understand why some patients get pain relief from radiation therapy while others do not, and to develop tools that help doctors choose the best treatment. Parti…

This study gathers medical records, scans, and lab results from 250 adults with bone metastases (cancer that spread to bones). The goal is to create a dataset that researchers can use to develop computer models for predicting fractures and life expectancy. No new treatments or dr…

This study is building a database of health information from 500 adults with painful bone metastases that have spread from other cancers. Researchers will track participants over time to learn more about the disease and how different treatments affect survival. The goal is to gat…
