SBRT Technique Implementation for Spinal Metastases Irradiation
Sponsor: Institute of Oncology Ljubljana
Summary
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a highly precise, image-guided radiotherapy technique delivering 1-5 high-dose fractions to spinal metastases. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, SBRT enables delivery of a higher biologically effective dose while maintaining high precision. The Institute of Oncology Ljubljana initiated spinal SBRT treatments in 2017 and introduced an institutional SBRT spine protocol in 2019. As SBRT is technically demanding, strict adherence to standardized planning and delivery procedures is essential to ensure treatment quality and patient safety. This clinical program aims to support structured implementation and continuous development of the institutional SBRT spine protocol in routine clinical practice. The study prospectively evaluates treatment-related toxicity and local tumor control following SBRT for spinal metastases in order to monitor treatment safety and effectiveness within the institutional program.

Interventions
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Spinal Metastases
Participants with spinal tumors or spinal metastases receive image-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered in 1-5 high-dose fractions according to the institutional SBRT spine protocol. The implementation programme includes standardized treatment planning procedures, protocol updates, immobilization techniques, image-guided verification (IGRT), and prospective peer review of target delineation and treatment plans to ensure quality and safety
