Abstract :
Abstract For patients with primary spine tumours, stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) isbecoming the treatment of choice. Patients with primary spine tumours that cannotbe surgically removed can undergo SBRT-based regimens as a neoadjuvanttreatment or as an adjuvant treatment before final surgery. A number of primaryspinal tumours are finding that SBRT-based therapies improve structural,mechanical, and functional results, making them the radiation treatment of choice.Due to its ability to safely increase dosages and overcome the radioresistantphenotype shown in certain primary spine tumours, SBRT and specifically singlefraction radiosurgery is an encouraging new approach to treating these tumours.Curative treatment with minimal neurologic, mechanical, and functional damage ispossible with SBRT alone or in conjunction with open surgery. Longer follow-upand the creation of prospective clinical studies will determine the long-termefficacy of spinal radiosurgery.
