    Abstract

    A review of 158 cases of metastatic extradural spinal cord compression referred to three radiotherapy departments shows that the median survival time is less than 3 months, that recovery of motor and sphincter function is uncommon, and that low fraction (2-5) regimens have a similar clinical outcome to more protracted regimens.
