Tumors of the spine. Indications for surgical treatment.
The authors analyze problems inherent to the treatment of spine tumors (in particular surgical indications) especially with regard to metastases. The purpose of treatment must be that of improving the quality of life and, perhaps, prognosis. In this sense it is hoped that when indications exist surgical treatment will be as timely and radical as possible.
