Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for One or Two Localized Spine Metastases
This study will evaluate the pain control and the quality of life of patients with spinal
metastases using stereotactic radiotherapy. Stereotactic radiotherapy is referred to as
"targeted therapy". It uses special equipment to position the patient and guide the focused
beams of radiation toward the cancer and away from normal surrounding tissue. This higher
dose technique may work better to kill cancer cells with fewer side effects than standard
radiation therapy.
