| Abstract: | The goal of this paper is to expose the clinical results and review of the literature of the treatment of spinal metastases with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) presenting one case. A spinal metastases from rectal cancer treated with a single dose of 18Gy is presented. The following physics aspects are exposed: Treatment volume, tumor volume marginal doses and maximum doses in organs at risk. Clinical and radiographic follow up is presented. Local control and pain relief after one year of follow up was excellent. In properly selected patients, the treatment of limited metastatic disease with SBRT appears to be feasible and safe. |
