Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Image-guided Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for Spinal Metastatic Tumors

Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Conventionally-fractionated-image-guided Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for Spinal Metastatic Tumors：A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Data of 100 patients with spinal metastatic tumor who received stereotactic radiotherapy or conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the multi-center of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 will be collected, as well as their follow-up data.Previous treatment and follow-up data will be analyzed to evaluate the clinical efficacy comparison of stereotactic radiotherapy and conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spinal metastatic tumors, local control rate and side effects, and to clarify the effectiveness and safety of different doses of radiotherapy.

In this study, Data of 100 patients with spinal metastatic tumor who received stereotactic radiotherapy or conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the multi-center of the research group from July 2019 to June 2021 will be collected, as well as their follow-up data.The metastases were treated with SBRT.Using multimodal image fusion to outline the target area.PTV = GTV + 0-10mm Target volume radiation dose: The range of BED value of radiotherapy was 60-72 when the distance between the tumor and gastrointestinal tract or spinal cord was more than 5 mm (alpha/beta=10) and 51.3-59.5 when the distance between the tumor and gastrointestinal tract or spinal cord was less than 5 mm (alpha/beta=10).The metastases were treated with Conventionally-fractionated image- guided Intensity modulated radiotherapy.Using multimodal image fusion to outline the target area.The dose of the target volume radiotherapy dose is 30 Gy/10f or 40Gy/20f.Previous treatment and follow-up data will be analyzed to evaluate the clinical efficacy comparison of stereotactic radiotherapy and conventionally-fractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spinal metastatic tumors, local control rate and side effects, and to clarify the effectiveness and safety of different doses of radiotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Spinal metastasis after previous systemic treatment or progression after previous treatment of spinal metastasis;
• The anatomy of the spinal metastases form Tomita parting Ⅰ type - Ⅲ type; Without systemic metastasis or metastasis, the lesion was controlled.
• ECOG physical condition score: 0-1, Karnofsky score 60, able to withstand puncture;
• Expected survival 3 months;
• Main organ function is good, without serious hypertension, diabetes and heart disease.
• Has signed informed consent;
• The compliance was good and the family members agreed to follow up for survival.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Of the anatomy of the spinal metastases form Tomita classification: Ⅳ, Ⅴ Ⅵ, Ⅶ.

• Participated in other drug clinical trials within four weeks; There was a history of bleeding, and any bleeding event with severe grade of CTCAE5.0 or above occurred within 4 weeks before screening;

• Screening of patients with known central nervous system metastasis or a history of central nervous system metastasis. For patients with clinical suspected central nervous system metastasis, CT or MRI examination must be performed within 14 days before randomization to exclude central nervous system metastasis.

• Patients with hypertension who cannot obtain good control by single antihypertensive drug treatment (systolic blood pressure >140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >90mmHg); Having a history of unstable angina pectoris; Patients newly diagnosed with angina within 3 months before screening or myocardial infarction within 6 months before screening; Arrhythmia (including QTcF: 450ms in male and 470ms in female) requires long-term use of anti-arrhythmia drugs and New York heart association grade II cardiac dysfunction;

• Long-term unhealed wounds or incomplete fracture healing;

• Imaging showed that the tumor had invaded important blood vessels or the researchers judged that the patient's tumor had a very high possibility to invade important blood vessels during the treatment and cause fatal bleeding;

• Coagulation function is unusual, have haemorrhage tendency person (before random 14 days must satisfy: below the circumstance that does not use anticoagulant INR is in normal value range); Patients treated with anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin, heparin or their analogues; The use of low-dose warfarin (1mg oral, once daily) or low-dose aspirin (no more than 100mg daily) for preventive purposes is permitted on the premise that the international standardized ratio of prothrombin time (INR) is 1.5;

• Screening for the occurrence of hyperactive/venous thrombosis events in the first 6 months, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including temporary ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis (except for venous thrombosis caused by intravenous catheterization in the early stage of chemotherapy, which was determined by the researchers to have recovered) and pulmonary embolism, etc.

• Thyroid function was abnormal in the past and could not be kept within the normal range even in the case of drug treatment.

  (10) Attending has a history of psychotropic drug abuse, and can't attend or has mental disorder;

• Always half a year after spinal tumors or other close to the spine tumor lesion lesions radiation;

• Immunodeficiency disease, or has other acquired, congenital immunodeficiency disease, or has a history of organ transplantation;

• Judgment according to the researchers, there is serious to endanger the safety of patients or patients completed the research associated with disease.
