Phase II/III Study of Image-Guided Radiosurgery/SBRT for Localized Spine Metastasis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating External beam radiation therapy and Radiosurgery/SBRT for Metastatic Cancer and Pain. Completed, enrolled 399 participants across 38 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well image-guided radiosurgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy works and compares it to external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients with localized spine metastasis.
