Abstract:
Stereotactic radiotherapy is an ever more common technique, regardless of the location treated. However, spinal stereotactic radiotherapy requires a particular technicality in order to ensure its proper realization. There is now a large literature defining the type of imaging to be used, the dose to be delivered and the delineation of target volumes. This technique can achieve a significant local control and an interesting analgesic efficiency. However, its place in relation to conventional radiotherapy remains limited because it requires MRI imaging and a significantly longer patient management during the treatment fraction. In this context, it is currently mainly restricted to oligometastatic patients or for re-irradiations.
