Measuring the paraspinal muscles as an important tool for predicting the overall survival period after spine surgery in lung cancer patients with spine metastasis
Lung cancer patients with a low quantity of the erector spinae muscles are at a high risk of poor prognosis after spine surgery. Therefore, measuring the erector spinae muscle could be an important tool for distinguishing patients appropriate for palliative treatments and surgical interventions.
