First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a single large dose of radiation is better than three smaller doses for treating cancer that has spread to the spine.

The goal is to see which approach better controls the tumor, relieves pain, and improves quality of life.
