D20054;LITT for Spine Tumors (NCT06548061)
Single Center Observational Study Using Spinal Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (sLITT) in the Treatment of Spine Metastases and Tumors
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of spinal laser interstitial therapy in the treatment of metastatic spinal tumors. The investigators hypothesize that rates of local tumor control are comparable between conventional open surgical techniques and spinal laser interstitial therapy.
