Current status of carotid endarterectomy for atheromatous disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Spine stereotactic body radiotherapy (sSBRT) is commonly limited to 1 or 2 vertebral levels given a paucity of efficacy and toxicity data when more than 2 levels are treated. OBJECTIVE:To prove our hypothesis that multilevel sSBRT could provide similar rates of local control (LC) (primary endpoint) and toxi...
