Primary Tumors of the Spine

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Primary tumors of the spine are far more rare than metastatic tumors. Management of primary spinal tumors is multidisciplinary, requiring a variety of treatment modalities. Treatment goals range from local disease control or cure to symptom palliation, prevention of neurological deterioration, and spinal stabilization. In the case of primary malignant bone tumors, long-term local control, survival, and potential cure are generally dependent on en bloc tumor resection.
