Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spine oncology is a rapidly advancing and evolving field, with ongoing integration of enabling technologies and cutting-edge translational work to improve outcomes for this fragile patient population. Primary and metastatic tumors of the spinal column are complex entities with innumerous nuances that make diagnosis and treatment a challenge. In this Special Issue, we hope to highlight some of the advances that have improved the treatment for these patients.
This Special Issue aims to improve our ability to diagnose and treat primary and secondary tumors of the spinal column. We hope that it will highlight novel and unique treatment paradigms that will be applied to patients across the globe.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome for this Special Issue. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: advances in imaging and radiotherapy for spinal tumors; surgical techniques for resection of spinal tumors; targeted therapy for spinal tumors; and novel technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumors.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Oluwaseun O. Akinduro
