First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tested whether a precise, high-dose radiation technique called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) works better than standard radiation for relieving pain from spinal tumors that have spread from other cancers. About 219 adults with confirmed cancer and painful spinal metastases took part. The main goal was to see if SBRT leads to greater pain reduction at 6 months, with tumor control also measured.
