Evaluating autologous blood transfusion in spinal surgery for lung cancer with spinal metastasis
Official title: A Single-center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Transfusion in Spinal Surgery for Lung Cancer With Spinal Metastasis
Run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital · NCT06244264 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether using a patient's own blood during spinal surgery for lung cancer with spinal metastases is safer and more effective than using donated blood.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with lung cancer and spinal metastases who can tolerate surgery and have a life expectancy of more than three months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious heart dysfunction, severe renal insufficiency, or those unable to provide consent may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous blood transfusion during spinal surgery for patients with lung cancer spinal metastases. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either autologous or allogeneic blood transfusions during standard open spinal decompression surgery. The study will measure various outcomes, including the incidence of new metastases, postoperative hemoglobin levels, circulating tumor cells, and the rate of allogeneic transfusions. Advanced techniques such as flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry will be employed to analyze blood samples before and after transfusion.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications for patients undergoing spinal surgery for lung cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using autologous transfusion in surgical settings has been explored, this specific application in lung cancer spinal metastases is relatively novel.
