| Article Title: | Advanced lung cancer: Aggressive surgical therapy vertebral body involvement |
| Abstract: | The management of NSCLC involving the spine has evolved significantly during the past decade. Current treatment is based on MRI findings and combined evaluation of neurologic, oncologic, mechanical, and systemic (NOMS) disease issues. Advances in radiotherapy now permit effective treatment of spinal lesions previously managed surgically. Conversely, improvements in hardware now allow better stabilization of the spine and early mobilization of patients who require surgical intervention. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. |
