Description:
Currently, many spinal tumors are only being referred by either neurosurgery or radiation oncology. Ideally, all patients with spinal tumors should be evaluated by both neurosurgery and radiation oncology. Spinal tumors often require surgical intervention to effectively treat the spinal cord and relieve pressure, radiation therapy can be used to target and destroy any lasting tumor cells. This lecture will serve to reinforce the need to coordinate approaches from both neurosurgery as well as radiation oncology specialties so that the best treatment plan can be selected based on the clinical information derived from both fields of medicine.
