Deviation From Consensus Contouring Guidelines Predicts Inferior Local Control After Spine Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Purpose/Objective(s)Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is increasingly utilized for the treatment of spine metastasis. Although consensus guidelines for spine SBRT target delineation have been published, data regarding their impact on patient outcomes are limited. The goal of this study is to analyze predictive factors for long-term local control (LC) in a large, mature series.Materials/MethodsPatients with de novo metastasis of the spine...
