Outcomes after palliative re-irradiation of spinal metastases

Conclusion Patients undergoing re-RT for spinal metastases have a poor prognosis. No RM was observed after re-RT largely respecting published low-risk criteria. Neurologic injury from progression was common. Further study of exceeding the low-risk criteria, particularly among poor prognosis patients, may be warranted.
