NCT07478289
Spine SBRT is considered a standard of care for the treatment of spinal metastases. Compared to conventional radiation therapy, spine SBRT delivers high doses of radiation to the affected areas to the spinal metastases. This study is interested in seeing whether an additional 'boost' of radiation, delivered to the affected area in the spine, will result in better long-term control of the tumor; help reduce pain; and reduce long-term side effects of radiation therapy.
NCT03072979
Pre-clinical evidence suggests that radiotherapy reduces tumour-associated vasculature. The investigators will conduct a single-arm prospective study to quantify the reduction in tumour vasculature post-radiotherapy
NCT02242786
Recently, diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging has widened its application on various oncologic applications. Especially, it is expected the DW MRI could provide valuable information about early response evaluation after treatment using rapid apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value change. It has demonstrated potential usefulness in response evaluation in the liver tumors after treatments such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiation therapy (RT). Furthermore, it is a functional imaging technique that does not require a contrast agent, it can be safely used in patients with renal insufficiency or other medical contraindications for contrast agents. The optimal assessment of early response of RT could provide one of the most important information to prescribe patient and cancer specific RT dose. It might be also important in palliative RT of HCC bone metastasis which is related with painful aggressive mass formation. This study is performed to evaluate the usefulness of DW MRI in early response evaluation after RT for HCC bone metastasis.
