Helicobacter pylori can colonize the human stomach for prolonged periods of time, and this colonization uniformly leads to the development of chronic active gastritis. In a small percentage of individuals, gastric pathology progresses to peptic ulceration or more rarely certain gastric cancers. In addition to non-specific inflammation, specific systemic and local immunity develops in response to gastric colonization by this pathogen.

A phase II trial was planned to investigate the feasibility of radiotherapy (RT) without steroids in 20 consecutive patients with metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC), no neurologic deficits, or only radiculopathy, and no massive invasion of the spine at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). Aiming at an early diagnosis, MRI or CT was prescribed for all cancer patients with back pain and osteolysis, even when there were no signs of neurologic spinal compression. All patients were given 30 Gy in 10 fractions over 2 weeks with no steroids.
