Prophylactic Radiotherapy for Minimally Symptomatic Spinal Disease
This study is looking at whether early radiation therapy (Prophylactic Radiotherapy) can help prevent problems in people with cancer that has spread to their spine (Spine Metastases). You might be able to join if you have a solid tumor and cancer that has spread to more than five places, including your spine, and your spinal pain is mild or you have no pain. The study will compare patients who receive radiation therapy to those who receive standard cancer treatments (Standard of care systemic therapy). Researchers want to see how many people have skeletal-related events (like fractures or needing surgery) within one year. The current status of this study is unclear.
