Phase II Cohort of Spinal Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Patients Using a MR LINAC
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
To learn whether giving spinal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRSS) that uses a more advanced imaging scan method called Magnetic Resonance imaging with a Linear Accelerator (MR-LINAC) during treatment will lead to improved responses to treatment and better quality of life. SRSS is radiation therapy given to the area around your spine.
Description
Primary objective: • To determine the 6-month local control (LC) of the target site of treatment. Secondary Objectives: * To determine the 6-month change in epidural tumor volume (by volumetric measurements where applicable) * To determine the 1-year local control of the target site
