ABSTRACT
Similar to evaluation for other treatment modalities, the patient’s general condition, symptomatology, and the physician’s assessment provide useful information with regard to the patient’s suitability for SBRT. Notably, localization and characteristics of the pain and neurological de‚cits like paresis, dysesthesia, autonomic dysfunction, or back pain resulting from compression of spinal nerves or the spinal cord itself can add important information on the location and extent of involvement of the vertebral metastases.
