Trial Identification

Brief Title: Radiotherapy for Solid Tumor Spine Metastases

Official Title: Phase II Study of Post-Operative Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Solid Tumor Spine Metastases

Study ID: NCT01752036

Conditions

Solid Tumor Spine Metastases

Interventions

Post-operative, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Study Description

Brief Summary: Although it is being increasingly used off protocol, there is minimal data regarding the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery to the tumor bed following surgical resection of metastatic lesions to the spine. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate radiographic local recurrence in the tumor bed following stereotactic radiosurgery compared to the expected rate following conventional radiation therapy.

Detailed Description: This is a phase II trial evaluating the rate radiographic local recurrence following post-operative stereotactic radiosurgery boost in patients with metastatic solid malignancies with spine metastases status post resection. Patients will be treated with 600 cGy x 5 fractions to the tumor bed and then followed both clinically and radiographically to determine if local recurrence following this treatment is better than might be expected for conventional radiation therapy.
