The authors describe 2 cases of symptomatic spinal cord compression due to metastatic prostatic cancer. Both cases showed marked improvement of cord compression after hormone therapy, and decompressive laminectomy was not necessary. The management of prostatic cancer patients with symptomatic spinal cord compression is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
