Vertebral Tumors – Diagnostic &Treatment Protocols

Abstract

Ganapathy S*

Vertebral bony tumors are notorious for their ability to mimic each other. With ever changing treatment protocols and newer adjuvant therapies introduced at regular intervals of time, we considered a small but concise update on management of these entities with our own diagnostic algorhythm, along with brief details on management, and a quick access table for radiological diagnosis. We hope that this effort, prepared with an extensive literature review supplemented with images and tables will assist in updating spine surgeons of all hues and thus assist in treating their patients.
