Abstract

One of the serious complications of metastatic spine injury is the spinal cord compression syndrome. Refusal to conduct specific treatment leads to disability of the patient, due to the development of violations of the sensory and motor functions of the extremities, the function of pelvic organs, severe pain syndrome, which can be prevented by timely radiation therapy. Restoration of the nerve conduction of the spinal cord in the area of the development of its compression can significantly improve the quality of life of the patient, and also resume specific treatment, which often stops due to the severity of the patient’s condition.
