Study summary

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical features and postoperative survival outcomes between patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy and those with spinal metastasis occurring after an established diagnosis of malignancy.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical features and postoperative survival outcomes between patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy and those with spinal metastasis occurring after an established diagnosis of malignancy. By analyzing and contrasting these two groups, we seek to identify any distinctive characteristics, prognostic factors, and potential implications for early detection and treatment strategies in patients with malignant spinal metastases.

Study population

The study population will consist of adult patients diagnosed with lung cancer who have developed spinal metastasis. Participants will be selected from individuals treated at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. Eligible patients must have a diagnosis of lung cancer with spinal metastasis confirmed by pathological examination or imaging studies, and must have undergone surgical intervention for spinal metastasis.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age ≥ 18 years.
  2. Pathologically or radiologically confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer with spinal metastasis.
  3. Patients with spinal metastasis who underwent surgical intervention.
  4. Adequate medical records and follow-up data available.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with spinal metastasis originating from non-lung primary tumors.
  2. Patients who did not receive surgical treatment for spinal metastasis.
  3. Incomplete clinical data or lost to follow-up.

Groups and cohorts

  • Spinal Metastasis as the First Presentation of Lung Malignancy

    It refers to patients who first present with symptoms such as pain or spinal cord compression caused by spinal metastasis, leading to the initial detection of bone metastasis, and are subsequently diagnosed with lung cancer.

  • lung cancer who subsequently developed spinal metastasis

    It refers to patients with a history of treatment for primary lung cancer who subsequently developed spinal metastasis during the course of the disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative Overall Survival

    Postoperative overall survival is defined as the time from the date of surgery for spinal metastasis to the date of death from any cause. Patients who are still alive at the last follow-up will be censored at that date. Survival status will be ascertained by clinical follow-up and/or review of medical records.

    Time frame: From the date of surgery until death or last follow-up, up to 5 years
