“…Tumors localized in the spine account for about 15% of all central nervous system tumors. A spinal cord tumor is considered a mass growing within the spinal canal or within the spinal bones, being generally classified into three groups: extradural, intradural-extramedullary, and intramedullary [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Among these categories, extradural tumors are the most frequently encountered, being commonly metastatic and occurring within vertebral bodies or structures outside the dura.…”

Spine tumors represent a significant social and medical problem, affecting the quality of life of thousands of patients and imposing a burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Encompassing a wide range of diseases, spine tumors require prompt multidisciplinary treatment strategies, being mainly approached through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical interventions, either alone or in various combinations. However, these conventional tactics exhibit a series of drawbacks (e.g., multidrug resistance, tumor recurrence, systemic adverse effects, invasiveness, formation of large bone defects) which limit their application and efficacy. Therefore, recent research focused on finding better treatment alternatives by utilizing modern technologies to overcome the challenges associated with conventional treatments. In this context, the present paper aims to describe the types of spine tumors and the most common current treatment alternatives, further detailing the recent developments in anticancer nanoformulations, personalized implants, and enhanced surgical techniques.
