Retrospective evaluation of the prognosis scores of Tokuhashi and Tomita for life expectancy in 37 consecutive patients with spinal metastases secondary to renal cancer who underwent surgery. The score of Tokuhashi, composed of six parameters, each rated from zero to two, has been proposed in 1990 ...

The goal of treatment for metastatic spinal tumors is pain control and maximizing quality of life. Physicians need to consider multiple patient-specific variables such as the extent of dissemination of the tumor, pain, neurological status, and prognosis before knowing if the patient is a good candi...

the growth of the thoracic spine and lungs. Treatment options vary from focusing on fusion and spinal stabilization to spinal stabilization and growth [109]. The timing and type of surgical treatment depend on the disease itself, the associated morbidity and the expected progression and prognosis. ...
Third, only 12% of patients had breast cancer, suggesting some potential selection bias, with younger patients who had better prognosis being more likely referred for surgery23 or longer fractionation schedules instead of this trial; hence, the generalizability of these findings is limited for these...
Patients with spinal metastases from lung cancer had better prognosis than that predicted by the Tomita and Tokuhashi scores. Spine surgeons should acknowledge this discrepancy and treat these patients with at least the aggressiveness suggested. Patients with adenocarcinoma, amenable to target therapy, den...
Prognosis SCI's prognosis is generally poor. No treatment leads to recovery. Less than 1% of patients with SCIs recover complete function before hospital discharge. The degree of disability directly correlates with the injury level, with higher-level injuries resulting in more significant disability an...

Cancer treatment, and in particular end-of-life treatment, is associated with substantial healthcare costs. The purpose of this study was to analyse healthcare costs attributable to the treatment of patients with spinal metastases. The study population (
