Correspondence and short communications: Comments on the article radiotherapy of metastatic spinal cord compression by B. Jeremic et al. In acta oncologica 1991; 30: 985-6

Abstract

We have read the article published in Acta Oncologica Vol. 30, No. 8, 1991, entitled Radiotherapy of metastatic spinal cord compression (pp. 985-6) and were somewhat surprised not to find any reference to our paper which was published in Radiotherapy and Oncology (1989; 15: 227-33), entitled Role of radiotherapy in metastatic spinal cord compression: preliminary results from a prospective trial although the data are very similar to ours. Our preliminary results, cited above, were followed by a prospective analysis of 105 consecutive patients, published in Cancer 1991; 67 (No. 5): 1311-7. ©1992 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
