Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with breast cancer, prostate cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer who have spinal metastases and are expected to survive more than two years.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a poor prognosis or those whose metastatic lesions exceed three consecutive vertebral bodies may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the long-term outcomes of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for patients with spinal metastases from breast cancer, prostate cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. The study focuses on patients who are expected to survive more than two years and aims to assess the efficacy and safety of SBRT in providing pain relief and local control of metastatic lesions. Participants must meet specific eligibility criteria, including confirmed primary lesions and adequate organ function. The trial seeks to determine the benefits of SBRT in a selective patient population with a longer expected survival.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve pain management and local control of spinal metastases in patients with certain cancers.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for spinal metastases, indicating potential for success in this approach.
