OBJECTIVES To importance site primary tumor as parameter preoperative prognostic score. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A composed six parameters, each rated from zero to two, has been proposed by for assessment metastases spine. METHODS Seventy-one were studied. There 34 cases thyroid cancer metastases, 28 renal and nine unknown origin. In patient, local systemic search performed. Patients divided into groups based on tumor, group analyzed separately. RESULTS cancers, surgery excise single found provide good results, palliative multiple Vertebral tumors rarely single, results less satisfactory. had poor outcome, regardless whether excisional or palliative. median survival period significantly shorter than that CONCLUSION is successful tool. However, it attributes same one-point rating those tumors. case tumors, this too high should be reduced 0.
