“…The efficacy of corticotherapy in the management of mscc has been demonstrated in terms of pain relief and motor function [15][16][17] . The use of adjuvant highdose steroid in addition to conventional radiotherapy has been shown to be beneficial, but was associated with an increased incidence of severe adverse events.…”

“…Vecht et al 15 showed no difference between two intravenous loading doses of dexamethasone (10 mg and 100 mg) in terms of back pain relief, ambulatory capacity, and survival; however, the dose of corticosteroids seemed to correlate with the incidence of adverse events. Graham et al 17 showed that severe treatment-related toxicities such as sepsis were reported with high-dose dexamethasone (96 mg daily) and that none were reported with low-dose treatment (16 mg daily). Sorensen et al 16 also demonstrated that high-dose dexamethasone was associated with clinically significant adverse effects, including hypomania, psychosis with confusion, and gastric ulcer perforation.…”

“…Multiple studies have shown the clinical utility of rapid implementation of corticosteroids, although there is no demonstrated survival benefit. [6][7][8] Corticosteroids have the benefit of decreasing overall inflammation and potentially provide a window of time to obtain tissue diagnosis for patients who initially present with MSCC without prior cancer diagnosis. This additional time window could also potentially mitigate the need for emergent Short communication: Onsite versus offsite radiation treatment of cord compression BJR "sim and treats" in some select cases.…”
