Potential of radiotherapy in treatment of patients with metastatic vertebral lesions, causing compression of spinal cord
Abstract
Spinal cord compression syndrome is a serious complication of metastatic lesions of the spine in patients with cancer. No specific treatment or ineffectiveness of such treatment lead to the development of sensory disturbances and motor functions of limbs, pelvic organ dysfunction, severe pain syndrome. Timely conducted course of external beam radiotherapy in separate mode or complex therapy prevents the patient s disability, and significantly improve the quality of life. This article provides two examples of the successful treatment of patients with spinal cord compression syndrome with the use of external beam radiation therapy as part of comprehensive treatment.
