The incidence of spinal metastasis (SpM) is increasing, and life expectancy for patients with malignancy is also rising. The "elderly" represent a population with steady growth in SpM proportion. Bracing is associated with lower survival. We believe that surgery should be considered, regardless of the patient's age.
脊柱转移瘤(SpM)的发病率正在增加,恶性肿瘤患者的预期寿命也在延长。“老年人”是脊柱转移瘤比例稳步增长的人群。支具固定与生存率降低相关。我们认为,无论患者年龄大小,都应考虑手术治疗。
