Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Treatment of Spinal Bone Metastasis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) appears an effective and safe treatment modality for spinal bone metastasis, which can enhance local control and improve quality of life. Life expectation, predicted fracture risk, localization, quality, size and number of metastasis and presence or absence of nerve compression seem to be important factors in decision-making for treatment. Further studies are needed to identify subsets of patient which will most benefit from treatment.

متن کاملThe current status and future of radiotherapy for spinal bone metastases
The management of spinal bone metastases is complex. In this review, the efficacy, methodology, and utilization of radiotherapy (RT) for spinal bone metastases are discussed. A number of randomized trials have evaluated the efficacy of 8 Gy, single-fraction RT for the palliation of painful bone metastases. However, RT for metastatic spinal cord compression has not been evaluated with respect to...
