Symposium NEW INSIGHTS IN TREATING VERTEBRAL METASTASES 11:00 - 12:00 | GIALLA

Choosing the most optimal treatment for patients suffering from spinal metastases can be complex, and, the focus of treatment may change during the course of disease. During this session, the speakers will, from their own clinical perspective, present an update on the place and timing of different treat- ment modalities ranging from interventional radiologal procedures as RFA or vertebroplasty, to minimal invasive surgical techniques as percutaneous pedicle screw-based stabilization or limited open de- compressive procedures, to, finally, non-invasive high dose radiotherapy using stereotactic techniques. Important criteria to consider are selection of patients for either modality, based on patient criteria, expected spinal stability, effectiveness of the intervention, its limitations, side effects, and, duration of metastastic control versus expected survival. Chair: Y. Van der Linden (The Netherlands) Co-chair: E. Maranzano (Italy)
