To investigate the role of radiotherapy (RT) alone in metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) patients with bladder cancer. ⋯ Improvement of motor function was rare. For patients not suitable for decompressive surgery, short-course RT seems preferable because it provides a functional outcome similar to that with long-course RT and is more patient convenient. If the patient's prognosis seems extremely poor in terms of functional outcome and survival, single-fraction RT or even best supportive care may be considered.
