ABSTRACT
The treatment of spinal cancers has rapidly evolved in the past decade. Often the treatment for spinal metastases required highly morbid surgeries and with palliative outcomes. However, a paradigm shift in surgical oncology has allowed spinal metastases treatment to have curative results. In the state of oligometastatic disease (OMD), the accompaniment of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as a primary modality or adjuvant treatment to surgery has been shown to excellent survival outcomes, lower morbidities and better pain management. This case report illustrates a novel approach to the treatment of spinal OMD utilizing anterior spinal separation surgery with a custom carbon fibre vertebral body replacement cage followed by postoperative SBRT with excellent radio-oncological outcomes over 30-month follow-up.
