“…In this study, it was shown that the number of vertebrae involved in metastasis is significantly associated with the probability of developing MSCC. This association is supported by the previous reports of primary prostate cancer studies [20,24]. In the study by Godman et al [25], there were 616 patients with LC and 24 (4%) developed MSCC.…”

“…As far as we know, this is the first study that describes the incidence of MSCC after BM in patients with LC. Previous studies [20,21] performed in other countries included only patients with breast cancer and prostate cancer. In the study by Venkitaraman et al [20], there were 150 patients with BM after prostate cancer and 27.3% revealed radiological evidence of MSCC.…”

“…The choice of treatment in patients with spinal metastases should be based upon a combination of clinical findings, the duration of symptoms, and radiological evaluation of epidural space invasion using reproducible parameters. In the literature, the term occult (subclinical) MSCC is used to describe a discrepancy between radiographic findings and neurological status (7,19). Whereas some studies include any degree of epidural space invasion in the definition of occult MSCC (7,19), others use separate terms for thecal impingement and compression of the spinal cord or cauda equina (17).…”

“…However, missing such a critical diagnosis represents a serious concern for every practitioner; thus complaints of back pain often lead to multiple imaging studies and consultations (Venkitaraman, et al, 2010).…”
