Study Summary

This trial will study whether a higher dose of radiation spread out over two sessions can better control spine tumors than a single session.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with cancer that has spread to the spine. Specific details about who can join are not provided, but typically participants would need a confirmed diagnosis and may have certain health requirements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two different radiation therapy schedules for treating spinal tumors: one single high-dose treatment versus two slightly lower doses on separate days. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) include fatigue, skin reactions at the treatment site, nausea, and in rare cases, more serious complications like damage to the spinal cord or surrounding tissues.
