Indications for surgery were the presence of progressive neurological deficit (6 patients -18.75%); incapacitating pain (23 patients -71.87%) or both of these situations together (3 patients -9.37%).

“…In a Brazilian [28] study, which also evaluated the Quality of Life of individuals before and after spinal decompression procedure caused by metastasis (pre-operatively, one and six months), the SF-36 (Short-Form Health Survey) was used. The results were statistically significant for the Pain (p = 0.004), Functional Capabilities (p <0.001), Social Aspects (p <0.001) and Mental Health (p <0.001) items, for both the first month after surgery, as well as for the sixth month.…”

“…A idade média dos pacientes observados no presente estudo variou de 28 a 85 anos, com média de 55,92 anos; houve 22 homens (40%) e 33 mulheres (60%). Segundo a literatura, sexo masculino e feminino são acometidos de maneira semelhante, com leve predomínio do sexo feminino em alguns relatos 4,13,15 entretanto não parece haver predomínio significativo de sexo nesta afecção. North et al 16 identificaram em uma população de 61 pacientes portadores de DVM a idade média de 52,4 anos; Ibrahim et al 14 Em estudo envolvendo 842 autópsias consecutivas de pacientes oncológicos sabidamente portadores de doença metastática, Ortiz Gomez 17 demonstrou que 65% dos casos de DVM ocorreram em decorrência de lesões primárias de mama, pulmão, mieloma múltiplo e linfomas.…”

“…Segundo a literatura, mais de 10% dos pacientes com câncer irão desenvolver doença vertebral secundária sintomática, com envolvimento de múltiplos níveis em mais de 40 a 70% dos casos [1][2][3] . Assim, a doença vertebral metastática (DVM) é uma afecção que tem se apresentado com frequência e caracteriza-se por representar uma das principais complicações do tratamento ao decorrer da evolução de pacientes oncológicos, causando dor e comprometendo de maneira significativa sua qualidade de vida [4][5][6][7] .…”
