Surgery for metastatic spinal disease
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 1995Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Despite the development of advanced treatment for many malignancies, a large number of patients will require evaluation and possible surgical intervention for lesions which have metastasized to or directly invaded the spinal column. The recommendations for operative intervention on these patients

A. Relatively small size of spinal cord (only about thumb size) packs many important structures in close proximity; it is also encased in relatively small space (vertebral canal) B. Spinal cord ends in conus medullaris at about L1-L2 vertebral level with cauda below that level; thus, lumbosacral vertebral disease tends to present as root

Back pain is one of the most common disorders worldwide. A global burden of disease study from 2010 [1] ranks it sixth between HIV and malaria in terms of its impact on disability-adjusted life years. Degenerative disease of the spine is considered the most common etiologic cause.

Spinal vascular diseases are rare diagnostic entities but important differential diagnoses for patients presenting with myelopathy. The spinal cord is supplied by the anterior and posterior spinal arteries, reinforced by multiple segmental arteries at variable levels. Ischemic diseases cause cord infarction.

Degenerative cervical spinal disease refers to neck pain, myelopathy, and/or radiculopathy. It is a common problem with increased prevalence above the age of 55 years. Understanding the natural history and pathophysiology is crucial in selecting patients for surgery.

The thoracic spine occupies a unique position with respect to anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, and surgical considerations. The kyphosis of the thoracic spine is offset by the lordosis in the mobile cervical spine and the principal load bearing lumbar spine maintaining a sagittal balanced posture.

Spinal pathology comprises greater than 50% of the neurosurgeon’s workload. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of spinal pathophysiology is of paramount importance. The spine has three principal biomechanical roles; namely load bearing, mobility, and protection of the neural elements.

Medical conditions affecting the spinal cord include traumatic and degenerative causes where the surrounding protective spinal disk and bone structures can degenerate and compress not only exiting nerve roots but the spinal cord itself, producing serious compromise to neurologic functioning; other compressive effects upon the spinal cord can arise from
