| Article/Chapter Title: | Assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of bone and spinal metastasis in lung cancer |
| Abstract: | Patients with lung cancer may develop bone and/or spinal epidural metastases, which produce some of the most feared and debilitating complications of the disease including pain, pathologic fractures, and spinal cord compression. These skeletal-related events are associated with impairments in functional status, reduced quality of life, poor prognosis, and increased health care costs. Treatment of these bone and spinal lesions requires a multidisciplinary team of medical oncologists, surgeons, physiatrists, and pain specialists to provide comprehensive oncologic management while optimizing the patient's functional status and quality of life. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
