Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
25 participants
May 16, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of spinal laser interstitial therapy in the treatment of metastatic spinal tumors. The investigators hypothesize that rates of local tumor control are comparable between conventional open surgical techniques and spinal laser interstitial therapy.
