Definitive single fraction spine stereotactic radiosurgery for metastatic sarcoma: Simultaneous integrated boost is associated with high tumor control and low vertebral fracture risk

Sarcoma spinal metastases (SSM) are particularly difficult to manage given their poor response rates to chemotherapy and inherent radioresistance. We evaluated outcomes in a cohort of patients with SSM uniformly treated using single-fraction simultaneous-integrated-boost (SIB) spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS).
