Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Cancer cells may spread from the primary site to the vertebrae resulting in their deformity. The standard treatment for this case is removal of the cancer deposits in the vertebra and filling the induced cavity with a cement like substance. The investigators are studying the effects (good or bad) of adding samarium (a radioactive substance) to the cement that is injected into the induced cavity.
