Abstract

As one of the most common places for metastasis, the spine remains integral to cancer treatment. While previously radioresistant, it is now possible to trace the path of tumor metastasis in cases of renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, and most soft-tissue sarcomas with stereotactic radiation therapy. Histological pathology, receptor analysis, and imaging characteristics remain essential in diagnosing cancers such as breast, lung, renal, thyroid, prostate, lymphoma, and myeloma. While the therapies to many of these spine metastases remain an area of continuing scientific inquiry, we believe that the future of spinal metastatic treatment lies in patient-centered multidimensional algorithms.
