Multidisciplinary Approach for the Management in Spinal Metastases Patients
A Review Article
Keywords:
Spinal metastasis, Vertebral metastasis, Metastatic spine tumor, Spinal tumorAbstract
The incidence of spinal metastases is increasing. An early diagnosis contributes to a good result of holistic care and better quality of life for the patients. In Thailand, there are still no standard clinical practice consensus guidelines. Therefore, we would like to review studies relate to spinal metastases. The topic of interest is clinical presentations, diagnosis, imaging investigation, and treatment options (which are conventional and minimally invasive surgery, medication, and radiotherapy). These could be useful and might be developed to use as a general guideline in the future.
