Metastatic spinal cord compression
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2020Metastatic spinal cord compression is compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina as a result of metastatic deposits in the spinal column. It affects approximately 4000 cases per year in England and Wales. Prompt identification and treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression is necessary to prevent irreversible neurological injury, treat pain ...

Epidural spinal cord compression
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004Epidural spinal cord compression is a neurologic emergency requiring immediate attention. The therapy instituted depends on several factors, including the patient's condition at the time of presentation, the nature of the underlying malignancy, the extent of systemic disease burden, and patient prognosis.

Malignant spinal-cord compression
The Lancet Oncology, 2005Malignant spinal-cord compression (MSCC) is a common complication of cancer and has a substantial negative effect on quality of life and survival. Despite widespread availability of good diagnostic technology, studies indicate that most patients are diagnosed only after they become unable to walk.

Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2003Malignant spinal cord compression is one of the most dreaded complications of cancer. If untreated, it can lead to worsening neurologic function culminating in paralysis and sphincter incontinence. The most challenging aspect in the management of this complication is early diagnosis because the single most important factor determining outcome is the ...

Patients with SCC due to metastatic disease of the spine must be simultaneously evaluated with regard to neurologic impairment, stability of the spine, and tumor type. A multidisciplinary approach is required for these patients including an internist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and spinal surgeon.

Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2005Approximately 70% of cancer patients have metastatic disease at death. The spine is involved in up to 40% of those patients. Spinal cord compression may develop in 5% to 10% of cancer patients and up to 40% of patients with preexisting nonspinal bone metastasis (>25,000 cases/y).
