Radiation therapy is frequently used in medicine as both a curative and palliative treatment modality. When cancer metastasizes to the spine, patients may experience debilitating back pain and neurologic dysfunction when there is compression of the spinal cord. Loss of sensation, muscle strength, and bowel/bladder incontinence are clinical manifestations of spinal cord compression. This activity reviews the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients who require palliative radiotherapy to the spine.
