A Pilot Study of Treatment of Bone Metastases in Spine: Radio Frequency Ablation/ Bone Augmentation plus Radiotherapy Vs. Radiotherapy
Status: Recruiting
This clinical study is for adults whose cancer has spread to the bones of the middle or lower back (spine). Doctors are comparing two common treatments: (1) a needle procedure to treat the tumor and strengthen the bone, followed by radiation, and (2) radiation therapy alone. The goal is to see which option better relieves pain, protects the spine, and improves quality of life. The treatment you receive will be chosen at random (by chance), meaning you will be placed into a study group by chance.
