Overview

Cancer care has changed dramatically with the development of new treatments. Overall survival, as well as disease free survival and progression free survival, has been changing in favor of prolonged times making surgical approaches different when musculoskeletal metastasis developed and allowing the development of new technologies as well. This book brings together current evidence-based approaches to surgically treat musculoskeletal metastasis keeping in consideration a multidisciplinary approach. Chapters not only describe state-of-the-art surgical techniques and options to treat these patients, but also different scenarios of metastatic spread and how other specialties intervene to obtain the best oncological and functional outcomes in these patients.     This book will serve as a comprehensive guide for musculoskeletal oncology surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the multidisciplinary management of musculoskeletal metastasis. The combination of practical principles, advanced technologies, and ethical considerations aims to provide a holistic approach to enhance patient care and outcomes.
