Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Versus Conventional Palliative Radiotherapy (CRT) for Patients With Painful Spinal Metastases: A Phase 3, Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Background: Conventional external beam radiation (CRT) is standard palliative treatment for spinal metastases; however, complete response rates for pain are low. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivers high dose ablative radiotherapy. We aimed to compare complete response rates (CR) for pain between SBRT and CRT to painful spinal metastases.
