Spinal Mixopapillary Ependymoma (sMPE) is an uncommon primary spinal neoplasm infiltrating the Spinal Cord(SC), Conus Medullaris(CM) and Nerve Roots associated to low resection and a high recurrence rates. The purpose of the present extensive Literature Review is to evaluate the exact impact of the involvement of the CM and the role played by the Gross Total Resection(GTR) on Overall Survival(OS).

Objectives: To evaluate the local control (LC) and long term adverse effects in a series of patients with lung metastases who received 30 Gy in single dose with stereotactic technique. Materials and Methods: Between December 2008 and April 2016, a total of 166 lung metastases in 129 patients affected by oligometastatic disease were treated at our Institution with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Mainly, the primary tumors were non small-cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer (45.2% and 28.8%, respectively). Prognostic factors were also assessed.
