Dose-Escalated Spine SbRT for Localized Metastasis to the Spinal Column (NCT04802603)
Dose-Escalated Spine SbRT (DESSRT) for Localized Metastasis to the Spinal Column
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is being done to determine the feasibility and tolerability of a novel regimen of spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS). SSRS delivers high doses of radiation to tumors of the spine using precision techniques. In standard medical care, conventional SSRS is delivered in only 1 or 2 treatments. When this treatment is delivered in only 1-2 treatments, a high dose is used which can increase the side effects of treatment. This study aims to test an alternative technique of delivering SSRS over 5 treatments. By delivering the radiation therapy over multiple treatments, the dose of radiation is less per treatment.
