“…Large retrospective analyses of spinal metastases suggest that for unfavorable histological types the rate of relapse approaches 80% within 2 years, 13,17 and the rate of failure continues to increase with longer follow-up. A small randomized trial of surgical decompression for spinal cord compression followed by conventional palliative radiation therapy reported that only 25% of patients remained ambulatory at 1 year post-treatment, and less than 10% remained ambulatory after 2 years.…”

Patients present with pain due to destruction of bone tissue and/or neurologic complaints due to nerve root and/or spinal cord compression [7,8].…”
