Records of women with newly diagnosed cancer of the cervix during a 16-year period were reviewed retrospectively for the development of spinal epidural compression by metastatic tumor (SECMT). Of the 361 cases studied, seven patients (2%) experienced SECMT. Epidural compression often involved the lumbar segment, tended to occur in the nonelderly population, and was relatively protracted in onset following the diagnosis of cervical cancer in cases of metachronous presentations. Although the prognosis was generally poor, the application of therapy may have promoted a better quality of remaining life by relieving pain or restoring the ability to walk.
对16年间新诊断为宫颈癌的女性患者记录进行回顾性研究，以了解转移性肿瘤导致的脊髓硬膜外压迫（SECMT）的发生情况。在361例研究病例中，7例患者（2%）发生了SECMT。硬膜外压迫常累及腰段，倾向于发生在非老年人群中，在异时性表现的病例中，在宫颈癌诊断后发病相对缓慢。尽管总体预后较差，但治疗的应用可能通过缓解疼痛或恢复行走能力，提高了剩余生活质量。
