Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Primary and metastatic tumors of the spine and spinal cord are challenging entities. As targeted treatment for cancer continues to improve survival, more and more patients develop metastases in their spine during the course of their treatment. With advancing technologies and minimally invasive techniques, the treatment paradigms for spinal tumors are continuously evolving. Modern treatments include separation surgery, en bloc resection, minimally invasive instrumentation, stereotactic radiosurgery, laser interstitial therapy, radiofrequency ablation, kyphoplasty, and robotic surgical techniques. To optimize the treatment of our patients, we must be aware of the available treatment options. The multidisciplinary management of spinal tumors has the potential to improve outcomes, survival and quality of life.
This Special Issue welcomes advances in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumors, including both original research articles and reviews.
