Key Points

Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy effectively relieves spinal cord compression.
A case series study indicates positive results in patients not eligible for surgical intervention.
Patients with metastatic epidural spinal cord compression benefited from treatment when surgery was declined.
Findings suggest hypofractionated SBRT may be a suitable alternative for challenging cases.

Implication

Case series study shows hypofractionated SBRT relieves spinal cord compression in patients refusing surgery, indicating its feasibility.

Abstract

Hypofractionated SBRT presents a feasible option for MESCC. For patients with high-grade MESCC who are unsuitable for surgery or refuse surgical intervention, SBRT can effectively relieve spinal cord compression.
