Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the toxicities and outcomes of patients with spinal metastasis treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to 25 Gy in 5 fractions. Methods and Materials: Data were extracted from an institutional tumor registry for patients with spinal metastasis who were treated with EBRT to 25 Gy in 5 fractions to their spinal lesion(s). Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses to determine local control and overall survival (OS) were employed. Results: Seventy-five patients with 86 total treated spinal metastatic tumors were identified. The median follow-up was 7 months. The median age was 66 years. Fifty-six patients (75.7%) experienced partial or complete pain relief for a median duration of 6 months (range, 1-33). Fifty-one (59.3%) cases were planned using intensity modulated radiation therapy while 19 (22.1%) employed 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy and 16 (18.6%) cases used nonconformal radiation technique. Greater than 90% of cases had a point dose maximum to the spinal cord/cauda equina |
