Spinal metastases: Is stereotactic body radiation therapy supported by evidences?
Cet article analyse les résultats cliniques et les données dosimétriques des études sur la radiothérapie stéréotaxique corporelle dans le traitement des métastases osseuses de la colonne vertébrale
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is becoming widely adopted in the treatment of primary and secondary tumors. Spinal bone metastases are frequently discovered in cancer patients, and in the past have been usually treated with a palliative goal. Nevertheless, in some particular clinical settings, such as oligometastatic patients and/or those with a long life expectancy, spinal SBRT could be considered a valid therapeutic option to obtain long-lasting palliation and, when possible, with a curative goal. This review aims to summarize available clinical and dosimetric data of published studies about spinal SBRT.
