Abstract
Neurological compression occurs in 10%-20% of patients who develop spinal metastases. In the last decade, the evolution of oncological diagnostic and medical techniques, the change from conventional external radiation to radiosurgery and the new surgical instruments have meant that the treatment of these patients must be indicated in a personalized manner and by consensus, multidisciplinary way, in specific commissions.Today, the biological state of the patient, the presence of mechanical instability, the neurological assessment and degree of epidural compression, as well as the best prognostic categorization of the tumor, are established as decision factors prior to the indication of surgical treatment, treatment that has passed from a cytoreductive concept to that of a spinal cord release from tumor in order to ensure safe radiosurgery.
