Reirradiation of metastatic spinal cord compression: Definitive results of two randomized trials

In MSCC reirradiation was safe and effective. Patient walking capacity before reirradiation was the strongest prognostic factor for functional outcome. Reirradiation was given in about one-half of patients with in-field recurrence and different doses and fractionations were used, even though cumulative BED was in all cases ⩽120 Gy2.
