Relative radiosensitivity of neoplasms for the purposes of ESCC decision-making*

Relative radiosensitivity of neoplasms for the purposes of ESCC decision-making*
Radiosensitive tumors Radioresistant tumors
  • Lymphoma
  • Myeloma
  • Small cell lung cancer
  • Germ cell tumors
  • Prostate cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Melanoma
  • Renal cell carcinoma
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Gastrointestinal cancers
  • Sarcoma
ESCC: epidural spinal cord compression; NOMS: Neoplasm, Oncologic, Mechanical, Systemic; cEBRT: conventional external beam radiation therapy.
* For the purposes of ESCC decision-making as part of the NOMS framework, tumors are classified as "relatively radiosensitive" and "relatively radioresistant" based on their predicted responsiveness to cEBRT in the dose ranges that are within spinal cord tolerance.
