Surgical Interventions Following Radiotherapy in Spinal Metastases with Intermediate Instability: A Risk Factor Analysis: The Korean Society of Spinal Tumor Multicenter Study (KSST 2022-02).

Surgical intervention was performed in 17.9% of patients with intermediate instability after RT as the initial treatment. The primary tumor site of the lung, liver, and kidney, higher Bilsky grade of ESCC, and EQD210 were the most important determinants for expecting the probability of surgical intervention. Therefore, the optimal treatment strategy needs to be devised by carefully evaluating the risk of surgical intervention.
