Abstract
High local control rates can be achieved with surgery followed by SRS. Further, adjuvant SRS following spine tumor surgery delivers less radiation to the wound than conventional radiation and thus potentially reduces wound complications. Unidimensional, bidimensional, and volumetric tumor assessments demonstrate similar results. Hence the use of the simpler RECIST criteria is suitable and appropriate for evaluating the response to treatment after spine radiosurgery.
