Targeted radiation zaps bone tumors with fewer side effects

NCT ID NCT02880319

Summary

This study is testing a precise form of radiation therapy (SBRT) to control cancer that has spread to the spine or other bones. It aims to see if this approach better stops tumor growth in the treated area and relieves symptoms like pain, while potentially causing fewer side effects than standard radiation. The treatment is not intended to cure the cancer, but to manage it locally. The study is for adults with solid tumors that have spread to bones, either with limited spread or needing re-treatment in a previously irradiated area.
