Radiation-induced acute toxicities after image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for patients with spinal metastases (IRON-1 trial)

ConclusionThis is the first randomized trial to evaluate radiation-induced toxicities after IMRT versus 3DCRT in patients with vertebral metastases. This trial demonstrated an additional improvement for IMRT in terms of acute side effects, although longer follow-up is required to further ascertain other endpoints.
