As medical technology advances, the landscape of cancer diagnosis and treatment continues to evolve rapidly. While advancements have led to extended survival rates among cancer patients, there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of spinal metastases. Consequently, there is a growing recognition of the importance of addressing the treatment needs of patients with spinal metastases.

The treatment of spinal tumor metastases requires careful consideration of various factors, including tumor characteristics, the patient's underlying chronic conditions, age, extent of disease progression, and life expectancy. Effective management of spinal tumors often relies on a combination of surgical intervention and radiotherapy for local control.

In response to these challenges, interdisciplinary collaboration has become increasingly vital. At our center, we prioritize collaboration across medical specialties to tailor individualized treatment plans for each patient. Whether the spinal tumor is primary or metastatic, we engage in thorough discussions with patients to explore surgical options and postoperative adjunctive therapies, aiming to develop comprehensive and effective treatment strategies.

With a wealth of experience in treating spinal tumors, National Taiwan University Hospital's Spinal Tumor Center is recognized for its expertise in providing comprehensive care. We treat a majority of cases domestically and leverage the specialized skills of various departments to offer holistic treatment approaches. Moreover, our commitment to case management and follow-up ensures coordinated care and optimal outcomes for patients. Additionally, we have established a spinal tumor database to facilitate scientific research and further advancements in spinal tumor treatment based on valuable clinical data.
