AI Article Synopsis
- Spinal metastasis is a prevalent complication in cancer patients, leading to severe pain and disabilities, necessitating a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
- Recent advances in oncology, including tumor genetics and stereotactic radiotherapy, are prompting a shift in treatment strategies, highlighting the need for updated decision-making systems to aid physicians in selecting the best options for each patient.
- The review discusses recent improvements in treatment systems, the rising popularity of hybrid therapy (separation surgery plus stereotactic radiotherapy), and evaluates existing evidence supporting this approach.
Article Abstract
Spinal metastasis is a common issue causing significant pain and disability in cancer patients. A multidisciplinary approach consisting of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical treatment is used for treating patients with metastatic spinal tumors. Due to recent advancements in medical and radiation oncology, like tumor genetics and stereotactic radiotherapy, this treatment strategy would change inevitably. Therefore, the decision-making systems developed for assisting physicians and surgeons to choose the most appropriate treatment for each patient with spinal metastasis need to evolve. In this review, the recent developments, validations, and modifications of these systems, as well as suggestions for future systems have been discussed. Recently, separation surgery combined with stereotactic radiotherapy (hybrid therapy) has gained popularity. Additionally, the evidence for hybrid therapy presented in the literature has been reviewed.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.

Introduction: the indication for total vertebrectomy in single vertebral metastases is increasingly questioned, especially in metastases with unknown primary tumour.
Material And Methods: in this article we describe a case of vertebral metastasis of unknown primary tumour treated by total vertebrectomy, and a review of the literature.
Results: in those patients with a good general condition, single vertebral metastases and no involvement of internal organs, as in our case, curative surgical treatment can be considered with total vertebrectomy being the treatment of choice in lesions that only affect the body of the vertebra.

Objective: As an effective treatment for spinal metastasis (SM), ERAS protocol can significantly reduce the length of hospital stay and complications in patients. Establishing an ERAS program for perioperative care after SM surgery is a clinical problem that needs to be addressed urgently. We aimed to develop an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) that conferred clinical benefit to patients with SM and made it relatively easy to manage the condition.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. Recent evidence suggests that the novel long noncoding RNA DHRS4 antisense RNA 1 (DHRS4-AS1) serves an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. However, its function and molecular mechanism in OS remain largely unknown.
