Novel approaches to the surgical treatment of vertebral metastatic disease
Abstract
Metastatic disease of the spine is one of the most actual problems in modern oncology, because of moderately increasing number of these patients and opportunities in different treatment modalities. This problem is on the edge of different specialties such as: neurology, orthopedic surgery, oncology. So the decision making team has to be multidisciplinary to suggest an adequate treatment.
