NCT ID NCT02387905
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study is testing whether injecting medical cement into the spine can prevent fractures in cancer patients receiving high-dose radiation to spinal tumors. Researchers are comparing patients who receive the cement procedure alongside radiation to those who receive radiation alone. The goal is to see if this preventive approach reduces fracture risk and improves pain and quality of life for people with cancer that has spread to the spine.
