SPINE METASTASES

This study tests a procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency ablation) and bone stabilization to treat spine tumors that have spread from other cancers. About 16 people with one to three active spine tumors will receive the treatment. The main goal is to see if the tumors become l…

This study tests whether giving radiation therapy early to people with spine tumors that are not yet causing serious pain can prevent future problems like fractures, spinal cord compression, or the need for emergency surgery. About 74 adults with advanced solid tumors and at leas…

This study is testing a new type of radiation therapy called SMART, which uses MRI scans to guide treatment in real time. It includes up to 397 adults with various cancers like pancreas, lung, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and improves tumor cont…

This study is for people with cancer that has spread to the spine. Instead of the usual 1 or 2 high-dose radiation sessions, researchers are testing a 5-session approach that gives smaller doses each time. The goal is to see if this method is easier to tolerate and still provides…

This study compares two treatments for people with cancer that has spread to the spine. One group gets a procedure that uses heat to destroy tumor tissue and strengthens the bone, plus standard radiation. The other group gets radiation alone. The goal is to see if the combined ap…

This study tests whether giving spine radiation in one session or two sessions better prevents bone fractures in people with cancer that has spread to the spine. About 130 adults with spine tumors will receive either one or two focused radiation treatments. The main goal is to se…

This study follows 3,000 adults with spine tumors (either starting in the spine or spread from elsewhere) who have surgery to relieve pressure on the spine, followed by radiation. Researchers will track how long people live, whether the tumor stays under control, and how well the…
