Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of intralesional gross-total resection (GTR) followed by high-energy particle therapy with en bloc and intralesional resections.
Methods: A retrospective study of patients diagnosed with primary osteogenic sarcoma (OGS) of the spine between 2009 and 2020 was conducted. Demographic information, including age, affected site, tumor volume, and Weinstein-Boriani-Biagini stage, was collected.
Surgical treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) can be challenging, especially in the spine. Non-surgical treatments such as with denosumab have shown promising results in different osteolytic pathologies. This retrospective observational study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiologic response of patients with ABCs of the mobile spine treated with denosumab and propose an updated treatment algorithm.

The goal of this study was to prospectively evaluate long-term clinical outcomes including health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures, using spine cancer-specific patient-reported-outcome (PRO) measures, in patients with symptomatic spinal metastases who underwent surgical management.
Methods: The Epidemiology, Process, and Outcomes of Spine Oncology (EPOSO, ClinicalTrials.
Study Design: Retrospective review of prospective, multicenter and international cohort study.
Objective: To describe the effect of gender on HRQoL, clinical outcomes and survival for patients with spinal metastases treated with either surgery and/or radiation.
Summary Of Background Data: Gender differences in health-related outcomes are demonstrated in numerous studies, with women experiencing worse outcomes and receiving lower standards of care than men, however, the influence that gender has on low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and clinical outcomes after spine surgery remains unclear.
