Abstract:
Metastatic epidural compression of the spinal cord is a significant source of morbidity in patients with systemic cancer. With improvment of oncotheray ,survival period in the patients is improving and metastatic cord compression is en-countered increasingly often. Surgical management performed for early circumferential decompression for the spinal cord com-pression with spine instability ,and spine reconstruction performed. Patients with radiosensitive tumours without spine instabili-ty,radiotherapy is an effective therapy. Spinal stereotactic radiosurgery and minimally invasive techniques ,such as vertebro-plasty and kyphoplasty,percutaneous pedicle screw fixation,radiofrequency ablation are promising options for treatment of cer-tain selected patients with spinal metastases.
