Abstract:
Cancer is in Spain the second cause of death in women (22%) and the first in men (31%). In this chapter we describe the most frequent types of spinal metastases, their most frequent locations within the spine, as well as their clinical behavior. We also analyze the neurological conditions most frequently associated with spinal metastases: root compression, spinal cord compression, cauda equina, and spinal cord involvement.

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

01:20Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
17
The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...
