Phase 3
This trial compared 1 treatment of radiotherapy with 5 treatments of radiotherapy. It was to see if 1 treatment worked as well to treat people who have cancer pressing on the nerves in their spine.
Cancer in the spinal bones can cause pressure. Spinal cord compression happens when pressure on the spinal cord stops the nerves working normally.
