Treatment of Liver Metastases Using an Internal Target Volume Method for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Published on: May 8, 2018

  • Own data were analyzed to demonstrate spinal radiosurgery application.

    • Main Results:

    • Radiosurgery arrested growth in up to 96% of spinal metastases.
    • Durable pain relief was achieved in patients with tumor-associated pain.
    • Spinal radiosurgery demonstrated low morbidity, with <1% risk of myelopathy.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal radiosurgery is an effective, minimally invasive treatment.
    • Various radiosurgical apparatus are available for spinal applications.
    • Properly selected patients benefit from radiosurgery with a low complication rate.
