The Challenges of Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastatic to the Spine: A Systematic Review of Survival and Treatment

“…The literature search identified 1440 unique results, where 47 articles met the inclusion criteria with a total of 807 patients included in the data analysis ( Figure 1 ). 1 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 – 60 Demographics, presenting features, treatment, and survival information were compiled for those patients with known status. The majority of patients were male (75.5%), and the mean age at diagnosis of RCC spine metastasis was 56.7 years.…”

Using DynaCT rotational angiography for angioarchitecture evaluation and complication detection in spinal vascular diseases

“…Bai et al [15] reported a case of metastatic hypervascular tumor mass in the spine preoperatively evaluated with rotational angiography revealing the relationship of the tumor vasculature to the adjacent structures. In our three cases of hemangioblastoma, the aim was to provide information for differential diagnosis and feeder location for surgical cautery.…”

Preoperative Embolization of Spinal Metastatic Tumor: The Use of Selective Computed Tomography Angiography for the Detection of Radiculomedullary Arteries

“…Several authors have already reported the usefulness of three-dimensional angiography, including cone beam CT angiography, to evaluate the angioarchitecture, such as intracranial aneurysm and intracranial/spinal arteriovenous fistulas [20][21][22][23] . The usefulness of selective CT angiography as adjunct to angiography even in preoperative embolization was emphasized for patients with MSCC, owing to evaluation of the metastatic tumor in the spine contributing not only to improved visualization of the vascular anatomy but also to optimal imaging displaying both detailed metastatic tumor and surrounding tissue volumetrically 30 .…”
