| Research Abstract |
1)Diagnostic imaging modalities Bone scintigraphy with ^<99m>Tc phosphate proved to Provide the most sensitive image for early detection of spine metastases as compared to roentgen examination or ^<67>Ga citrate scintigraphy.
2)To establish a staging system in metastatic bone disease and to identify the risk factors promoting bone metastasis. Disease progress could be assessed with advancement in the stage: stage 1 bone metastasis in the central skeletal system (Th.L.and Ribs). stage 2 bone metastasis in the central and intermediate skeletal system(Central + Pelvis,Skull). stage 3 bone metastasis in the central, intermediate and peripheral skeletal system. Osteolytic nature of metastatic lesion and enhanced tumor marker activity often proved to be the risk factor.
3)Proposal of surgical management to cancer metastasis of the spine. Ceramic prosthesis was devised to replace the affected vertebra. Procedures to introduce the prosthesis and to anchor it into the spine were developed.
4)To test mechanical property of the prosthesis and mechanical strength of the vertebra-prosthesis-vertebra complex. The prosthesis anchored screws and bone cement provided a sufficient strength to bear body weight.
5)Indication, contraindication of the surgery, postoperaive managements and supportive cares for patients were established.
6)Postoperative radiotherapy onto the affected level of the spine proved to be the most effective measure for preventing local recurrence and sustaining surgical improvement.
