Abstract

Stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRS) provide an option to deliver high dose per fraction radiation and a high biologic equivalent dose (BED), typically in one to fi ve fractions with aim to improve clinical response, improve tumor control and reduce retreatment rate. These aims were applied to patients by using Cyberknife as a single modality or combined modality in unirradiated or reirradiated painful spinal metastases patients with safe and effective response
