Primary Tumor Research and Outcomes Network (PTRON) A Multicenter Prospective Registry for the Management and Outcomes of Primary Tumors of the Spine
AO Innovation Translation Center
Summary
This project aims to establish a network of spine oncology centers dedicated to prospective multicenter research of patients diagnosed with a primary tumor of the spine and will include a comprehensive prospective clinical database which will serve as a shared research platform. Demographic, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic variables will be used to answer questions about survival and local recurrence, as well as questions about adverse events (AEs), morbidity data, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes.
