Natural History of Spinal Metastases
Plain English Summary:
When a cancer spreads to a new and different site in the body it very often locates in the bony skeleton. The commonest place for these new cancers in bone
is in one or more vertebrae in which case they are called spinal metastases. Sometimes these spinal metastases do not cause symptoms, however they can

Abstract:
The objective of this short report is to determine if there is sufficient evidence in the literature deriving from natural history and imaging studies of patients
known to have spinal metastases to identify those at high risk of progression to spinal compression and or to spinal collapse. In this context we will look for
studies of spinal metastatic disease which identify candidate risk factors that can identify individuals or their vertebrae at risk of these undesirab...
