DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OF METASTATIC LESIONS OF THE SPINE: OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS.
Abstract
Metastatic lesions of the spine are common. Surgical treatment is indicated in most cases with this pathology. The most effective treatment is a combination of surgical and radiation therapy. Currently, there is no single approach to the treatment of metastases in the spine. The article provides a review of the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic spinal lesions.
