Intensity-Modulated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Intramedullary Cervical Spinal Metastases: Report of 2 Cases

Event: 8th International Conference of the Novalis Circle 2018
Topic: Spine radiosurgery
Year: 2018

Yoshimasa Mori, MD, Shinyurigaoka General Hospital in Kawasaki, Japan discusses intensity-modulated stereotactic radiotherapy for intramedullary cervical spine metastases. He uses two intramedullary cervical spinal cord single metastases cases as the focus of this talk, both of which were treated successfully with IMRT and ExacTrac. The first is a radio-resistant metastasis from a thyroid carcinoma located at C6-7. The second is a metastasis from a lung adenocarcinoma located at C2, which was close to the field that was previously treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
