Abstract

This is the first study to investigate the use of an esophageal hydrogel spacer in spine stereotactic radiosurgery. The tolerability and the dose reduction to the esophagus are predicted to reduce the incidence of high-grade toxicities, which in turn can permit dose escalation to optimize tumor control.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 American Society for Radiation Oncology.
