The influence of fractionated radiotherapy on the stability of spinal bone metastases: a retrospective analysis from 1047 cases

The effect of radiotherapy, in particular the application of different multi-fraction schedules in the management of unstable spinal bone metastases (SBM), is incompletely understood. This study aims to compare the radiological response regarding various dose and fractionation schedules of radiother...
