RT was successful in 76% of patients receiving 5x4 Gy and 69% receiving 10x3 Gy (p=0.14).

On multivariate analysis, survival (OS) was associated with performance score (p<0.001), visceral metastases (p<0.001), and pre-RT ambulatory status (p=0.004). 1-year OS rates were 68% after 5x4 Gy and 73% after 10x3 Gy (p = 0.64).CONCLUSIONS: In patients irradiated for MSCC who had favorable survival prognoses, post-RT motor function, LC and OS were not significantly different after 5x4 Gy and after 10x3 Gy.",
