Sponsor's own description

Although it is being increasingly used off protocol, there is minimal data regarding the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery to the tumor bed following surgical resection of metastatic lesions to the spine. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate radiographic local recurrence in the tumor bed following stereotactic radiosurgery compared to the expected rate following conventional radiation therapy.
