Interdisciplinary clinical evaluation of 58 patients with lumbar-vertebral metastases from cervico-uterine cancer.

Introduction: Metastases in the vertebrae of patients with cervical cancer (CeCa) can be difficult to diagnose, and the treatment is palliative in many cases.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the ti-me required for diagnosis, the lesion's locoregional extent and the therapeutic schemes applied, in a retrospective series of 58 patients with CeCa and with lumbar spinal metastases.

Methods: The cases were studied using an updated interdisciplinary analysis to determine the clinical and radiological variables.
