Description

In this study, patients with malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC), Bilsky grade 1c, 2 and 3 who are ambulatory with or without aid (rollator, cane, one persons help) will be treated by separation surgery followed by SABR (5x 8.0 Gy postoperative) (control arm) or SABR alone (5x 8.0 Gy) (study arm). The primary objective of the study is investigating the effect of SABR compared to separation surgery followed by SABR in ambulatory patients with MESCC on retaining ambulatory function. The primary endpoint of the study is ambulatory function 3 months post treatment defined as: bei...
