Bone metastasis is frequent in bronchopulmonary cancer. We report a series of 52 patients, and analyze indications and the efficacy of surgery.We retrospectively studied the records of 52 patients operated on for spinal metastases of bronchopulmonary cancer over a 6-year period from January 2009 to December 2014 in the neurosurgery department of the North Hospital of Marseille, France.Mean age was 63.6years; with a sex ratio of 3:1 (M:F). Spinal pain associated with vertebral fracture and spinal cord compression was the most frequent clinical presentation (59.6%). SINS score was≥7 in 78.9% of cases. Karnofski Performance Status was average in 67.4% of cases. Predicted survival beyond 12months was zero according to the modified Tokuhashi score. The surgical indication was essentially palliative. Evolution showed regression of pain in 84.6% of cases, and stabilization and improvement in motor deficit in 80.6%. Median postoperative survival was 16months.Our results highlight the interest of surgery for pain relief, spinal stabilization and improvement in neurological function in patients with spinal metastases of bronchopulmonary cancer, and the unreliability of predictive survival scores. |
