Brief Summary:
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

Detailed Description:
Protocol
1 Patients with bone metastases will be identified and discussed in the weekly joint Neuroscience meeting held in Radiation Oncology Department
2 If the patient is eligible to this study the protocol will be offered to himher If the patient accepts informed consent will be obtained
3 The case will be scheduled jointly by Neurosurgeon and Radiation Oncologist
4 Radiation physicist orders the radioactive samarium
During the procedure
1 Neurosurgical procedure kyphoplastyvertebroplasty is performed as standard using mild general sedation and local anesthesia
2 Once a cavity is identified in fluoroscopy the trocar is secured The volume and pressure of the kyphoplasty balloon are recorded
3 According to standard practice only the radiation team Radiation oncologist Physicist is handling the radioactive material All work is done under sterile conditions
4 Two mCi of Samarium is prepared after serial dilution steps under radiation precautions in the department of radiation oncology and material is transferred to OR
5 05ml of Head Cement is administered first to act as a seal
6 The Samarium is then introduced into the vertebral cavity using a 2-way valve by the Radiation Oncologist Total of 05ml Samarium02ml radio opaque material
7 The Foot cement 05 ml is then introduced via the same 2-way valve into the vertebral cavity by the neurosurgeon to flush any remains of radioactivity in the system
8 The two way valve is then removed and the rest of kyphoplastyvertebroplasty is ensued as per their ordinary protocol
9 Final volume of cement injected is recorded
10 After securing the wound all devices syringes gloves and basins used for handling the radioactive substance are collected in a red bag and stored by radiation safety officer in the hot lab till full radioactive decay
11 The room is scanned after patients discharge any spillage should be reported to radiation safety officer and normal procedures for environmental protection are ensued
Post Procedure
1 Normal neurosurgical recovery room protocol is employed No radiation precautions needed
2 Patient can be discharged home No delays because of radiation precautions
3 Once patient is cleared a nuclear imaging scan is obtained with Gamma camera The ratio of uptake in the vertebra to background is calculated Moreover Full body scan is obtained to identify other areas of uptake if any
4 A second nuclear imaging scan is done on the 4th day of the procedure Two half Lives to document significant decay and calculate dose
5 MRICT scan of the area treated should be done in 4 weeks to assess outcome
6 Clinical follow up is obtained at 2 4 weeks and in 3 months Careful pain score assessment is included in each time Use Study Flow Sheet
