Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the patient population ages, the number of patients presenting with a spinal oncological pathology has been increasing. While surgical consideration is a component of treatment, these pathologies require a multidisplinary approach. Therefore, there is a need for better understanding an evolving treatment paradigm as the landscape continues to change with advances in surgical techniques and adjunct therapies. In the present Special Issue for the Journal of Clinical Medicine, we aim to highlight current research focused on the management of spinal oncology, including both primary and metastatic pathologies. We welcome a broad approach for this Special Issue from, but not limited to, surgical considerations, patient optimization, imaging advances, and multidisciplinary treatment advances.
