Emergencies in Hematology and Oncology
2017, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :The diagnostic method of choice is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because it is both sensitive and specific (Figure 4).139-143 It is important to image the entire spine because up to 40% of patients may have multiple levels of compression or cord impingement.144-147 If imaging of the entire spine is not feasible on initial evaluation, focused MRI of the suspected area should be performed emergently with a more complete MRI evaluation of the entire spine as soon as possible.142

2012, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Colonic (Brown et al., 1999) and prostate cancer (Osborn et al., 1995) involve the lumbar spine more frequently, whereas lung and breast cancer affect the thoracic spine preferentially. Renal and gastrointestinal tumors in general most frequently involve the lower thoracic and upper lumbar spine (Helweg-Larsen et al., 1995). Multiple spinal metastases occur in about one-third of patients with MSCC (Van der Sande et al., 1990; Schiff et al., 1998; Chamberlain and Kormanik, 1999).
Solitary Vertebral Metastasis
2009, Orthopedic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The location of spinal metastasis correlates to volume, with thoracic spinal metastasis being the most common at 60%, followed by 30% lumbosacral and 10% cervical.14,15 Most spinal lesions are solitary and multiple spinal lesions reportedly occur in up to 35% of patients.13–15 In one prospective study, recurrent spinal metastases occurred in 20% of patients.16
