ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΣΤΗ ΘΕΡΑΠΕΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΜΕΤΑΣΤΑΤΙΚΩΝ ΟΓΚΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΣΠΟΝΔΥΛΙΚΗΣ ΣΤΗΛΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΥ ΠΕΡΙΕΧΟΜΕΝΟΥ ΤΗΣ
Abstract
dc:descriptionTHE PRESENT STUDY IN A FORM OF A MONOGRAPHY IS BASED ON TWO GROUPS, SIXTY AND TWENTY THREE PATIENTS, ALL METASTATIC TUMORS OF THE SPINAL CORD. OUR CLINICAL MATERIAL IS CONSISTED OF TWO GROUPS . THE FIRST IS OPERATED AND VERIFIED. THE SECOND ARE TREATED WITH CONSERVATIVE METHODS IN THE FORM OF HIGH STEROIDS AND IRRADIATION . IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER TO FIND OUT WHICH MODE OF TREATMENT IS MORE EFFECTIVE TO ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS IN THE FORM OF 1) RESTORATION OF THE MOTOR FUNCTION, 2) PROLONGATION OF LIFE AND 3) IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE. WE DID A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE 60 AND 23 PERSONAL CASES AND WE RECOGNISED FOUR DISTINCT CLINICAL SYMPTOMS, SUCH AS: 1) AMBULATORY ABILITY, 2) BOWEL OR BLADDER CONTROL, 3) REGAINED PAIN SENSIBILITY, 4) RELIEF PAIN POSTOPERATIVE. THE LEVEL OF METASTATIC INVOLVEMENT WAS MOST COMMONLY AT T5 TO LI IN 25 PATIENTS FROM LISI IN 14 PATIENTS. THE BEST RESULTS WERE OBTAINED IN T5-L1 LEVEL, WHEN BOTH SURGERY AND RADIATION THERAPY WERE EMPLOYED AS THE TECHNIQUE . THE POOREST RESPONSES, WERE SEEN IN THOSE WHICH LUNG CARCINOMA AND INTRAMEDULLAR INVOLVEMENT. SURGICAL DECOMPRESSION PRODUCED EFFECTIVE PAIN IN 40% OF THE PATIENTS, POSTOPERATIVELY 26 PATIENTS, 44% COULD WALK OF THE THREE GROUPS OF SYMPTOMS, SPHINCTER MALFUNCTION IS THE MOST RESISTANT TO TREATMENT. THERE IS A GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE HISTOLOGY OF THE TUMORS IS CRUCIAL AS A PREDICTOR IN THE TREATMENT OF SUCH LESIONS. WE ARE FINISHING WITH THE SAME AND MORE QUESTIONS TO TREAT THEM, WHICH MODE, FOR HOW LONG AND WHY.
