Retrospective multicenter study by the French Spine Society of surgical treatment for spinal metastasis in France
ConclusionSurgical treatment of spinal metastases is not well standardized; thus many different strategies are used. There is evidence that it improves the quality of life in most patients by reducing their pain and allowing them to walk again. However, this treatment must be discussed in the context of an MDT meeting before it is carried out. These patients should be evaluated early on by a spine surgeon to reduce the need for emergency surgery when a neurological deficit appears.
