Abstract:
Metastatic disease of the spine occurs in as many as 70% of cancer patients. Patients may present with pain, neurologic deficit, or both. Treatment options include medical therapy, radiation, and surgery. The diversity of patients' conditions, tumors pathology, and the extent of disease complicate decision making and treatment. Treatment goals are palliative, aiming for pain control and maintenance of mobility. A multimodality therapy, results in better outcomes.
