Analysis of Skeletal-Related Events in a Liaison Treatment for Metastatic Spinal Tumors: A 10-Year Retrospective Study

Introduction: Skeletal-related events (SREs), including pathological fractures and spinal cord compression, significantly reduce the quality of life and survival in patients with metastatic spinal tumors. Although multidisciplinary "liaison treatment" has been implemented at our institution to detect and manage all metastatic spinal lesions, some patients still develop SREs. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and circumstances of patients who experienced SREs despite this system, with particular focus on referrals from other hospitals.
