In this study, we were able to show that the current standard of RT after spinal surgery of osteolytic lesions is safe. In addition, we observed a very low rate of SRE (4%) and no in-field recurrences, demonstrating the local efficacy of RT in multiple myeloma patients. Higher Bilsky scores were associated with worse OS in multivariate analysis, but had no effect on pain response.
