Sponsor's own description
The BLEND RCT aims to evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of same-day SBRT and surgical stabilization with or without decompression for the treatment of symptomatic, unstable spinal metastases on physical functioning four weeks after the start of treatment, compared with the standard of care (surgery followed by radiotherapy as soon as the wound healed sufficiently).
