Management of a recurrent vertebral metastasis in a situation of previously irradiated spinal cord is a challenging clinical dilemma.
We report a first case of second retreatment of a spinal metastasis initially irradiated with standard radiotherapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), who subsequently progressed with imaging-confirmed local tumor progression at the same level. After a third course of irradiation with SBRT, a complete response was achieved. After 8 months of follow-up, the patients remain free of local recurrence.
A third course of vertebral irradiation for a recurrent vertebral metastasis failing to two previous irradiations, in this particular case, have shown the feasibility and efficacy of the technique as a salvage treatment option. This approach could be used in a selected group of patient if an adequate dose is delivered to the target while observing critical tissue tolerance limits.
在先前已接受脊髓照射的情况下,复发性椎体转移瘤的治疗是一个具有挑战性的临床难题。
我们报告了首例脊髓转移瘤患者,该患者最初接受了标准放疗和立体定向体部放疗(SBRT),随后影像学证实肿瘤在同一水平局部进展。在接受第三次SBRT照射后,实现了完全缓解。经过8个月的随访,患者未出现局部复发。
在该特定病例中,对于先前两次照射失败的复发性椎体转移瘤进行第三次椎体照射,已显示出该技术作为挽救治疗选择的可行性和有效性。如果在观察关键组织耐受限度的同时向靶区给予足够剂量,这种方法可用于特定的患者群体。
