Abstract

The literature about radiation damage to the spinal cord is reviewed and 4 of own cases are presented. It is pointed out that in curative radiation therapy the risk of myelitis that accompanies higher spinal cord doses must be weighed against the therapeutic gains. However, in view of the lack of information about radiation damage to the spinal cord, this may be quite difficult.
