Abstract

Metastatic tumors are the most frequent malignant destructive lesions involving the spine. Lung and breast cancers are the most frequent cancers that spread to the spine. Generally metastatic lesions are seen at the thoracal spine. Affected patients generally experience severe back pain and disability related to these lesions. As the disease develops, instability, pathological fractures and related neurological damage may occur. Surgical intervention is based on wide resection of the tumor and restoring the spinal stability. Spinal metastatic lesions should be managed in a multidisciplinary manner. The aim of surgery in metastatic lesions of the spine is to produce analsegia and to improve the quality of daily living activities of the patients.

Özet

Metastatik kemik tümörleri omurganın en sık görülen malign tümörleridir. Omurgaya en sık akciğer ve meme kanserleri metastaz yapar. Metastatik tümörler tüm omurga içinde en sık torakal bölgede görülürler. Metastatik omurga tümörlü hastalar genellikle ciddi ağrı çekerler ve kimi zaman bu ağrı nedeniyle kısıtlanma yaşarlar. Hastalık daha da ilerlediğinde omurgada instabiliteler, patolojik kırıklar ve buna bağlı nörolojik bulgular ortaya çıkabilir. Cerrahi tedavi tümörün geniş rezeksiyonu ve spinal stabilitenin korunması temeline dayanır. Omurga metastazları multidisipliner bir şekilde ele alınmalıdır. Metastatik omurga tümörlü hastalarda cerrahi tedavinin hedefi etkin analjezi temini ve hastanın yaşam kalitesinin arttırılmasıdır.
