Abstract
Functional outcome after RT was significantly influenced by the time of developing motor deficits before RT and number of involved vertebra. Local control was significantly better after application of long course RT. Patients with a poor expected survival could be treated with short course RT, because a short treatment time means less discomfort for the patient. For patients with good survival prognosis, long course RT should be applied to achieve better local control.
