Abstrakt: Introduction: Bone is the third most common site of metastatic cancer, of which the spine is the most frequently involved. As metastatic cancer prevalence rises and surgical techniques advance, operative intervention for spinal metastases is expected to rise. In the first operative cohort of spinal metastasis in Ireland, we describe the move towards less invasive surgery, the causative primary types and post-operative survival.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of all operative interventions for spinal metastasis in a tertiary referral centre over eight years. Primary spinal tumours and local invasion to the spine were excluded. Median follow up was 1895 days.
Results: 225 operative procedures in 196 patients with spinal metastasis were performed over eight years. Average cases per year increased form 20 per year to 29 per year. Percutaneous procedures became more common, accounting for the majority (53%) in the final two years. The most common primary types were breast, myeloma, lung, prostate and renal. Overall survival at 1 year was 51%. Primary type was a major determinant of survival, with breast and the haematological cancers demonstrating good survival, while lung had the worst prognosis.
Conclusion: This is the first descriptive cohort of operative interventions for spinal metastasis in an Irish context. Surgery for spinal metastasis is performed at an increasing rate, especially through minimally-invasive means. The majority of patients survive for at least one year post-operatively. Prudent resource planning is necessary to prepare for this growing need.
