Spine metastasis

Post by Olga »

We have a case when the spinal met was treated with success using radiosurgery Synergy (more info in Tom personal updates):

Dr. Flinkinger and Dr. Konziokla at UPMC. - radiosurgery Synergy on the spine met in L4 twice (proven to be successful as the tumor continues to get smaller), more info on http://www.neurosurgery.pitt.edu/neuro_ ... nergy.html

Just to add some post factum info:
after this treatment there was a fracture in the vertebrae next to a treatment field as a consequence of the radiosurgical treatment damage to adjacent body tissues, it was fixed by the surgery and no local spread or invasion was found as it was suggested before of the surgery:
