Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation and Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Patients With Spine Metastases (NCT05023772)

A Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Combining Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation With and Without Spine Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Patients With Spine Metastases

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿฉบ Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: Henry Ford Health System

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this research is to combine two complementary modes of treatment, spinal interstitial laser ablation and stereotactic spine radiosurgery (SSRS) for the treatment for spinal tumors near the spinal cord with an objective to improve tumor control, improve pain control, preserve function, and improve quality of life. We will also assess how effective these combined modes of treatment are in patients with spinal metastasis with an epidural component.
