A modern concept of assessing tumor lesions of the spine, NOMS, adapted to the conditions of emergency care is presented as a part of a systematic review of the literature. Principles of neurological, oncological, mechanical and system analysis of spine lesions in primary and metastatic spinal tumors, which are the basis for step-by-step tactical decisions, as well as methods for analyzing each component are described.
