Since a previous matched-pair study comparing 20 Gy in 5 fractions and 8 Gy in 1 fraction showed a trend in favor of 20 Gy in patients with intermediate survival prognoses and a significantly better local control of MSCC in patients with favorable prognoses, the present study was limited to patients who received 20 Gy in 5 fractions to avoid a selection bias caused by the dose-fractionation regimen [ 8 ]. .
