In the United States there are 1.2 million new cancer cases diagnosed per year, and of this number, up to 30% of patients will develop symptomatic spinal metastasis. The management of metastatic cancer is an evolving discipline, and treatment strategies are constantly changing as technology improves and the understanding of cancer biology deepens. Spinal Tumors: A Treatment Guide for Patients and Family helps inform both patients and their families about treatment options and helps unlock the confusing, sophisticated, and sometimes contradictory information about the best ways to proceed with cancer treatment. Written by leading Neurosurgeon, Dr. Henry E. Aryan, this book is an essential resource for anyone dealing with the terrifying, exhausting, and confusing experience of symptomatic spinal metastasis.
