¿Existen diferencias en el manejo neuroquirúrgico de las lesiones intracraneales en la paciente gestante? Resultados de nuestra experiencia y revisión de la literatura

Spinal tumors result in high morbidity and a high rate of lower limb paralysis. Both surgical therapy and radiation therapy (RT) are used to treat spinal tumors; however, how best to combine these two therapies to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks is still being debated. It is also difficult to decide the optimal timing, course and dose of RT, especially in pregnant women and children. The aim of this review is to assist surgeons who are dealing with spinal tumors by providing comprehensive information about advanced techniques for administering RT with greater precision and safety, and about the impact of various ways of combining surgery and RT on therapeutic outcomes. We here review published reports about treating spinal tumors with a combination of these two forms of therapy and attempt to draw appropriate conclusions concerning selection of optimal treatment protocols. Our conclusion is that postoperative radiotherapy, especially with high-precision, low-dose and multiple fractions, and brachytherapy are promising therapies to combined with surgery.
