Vertebral Metastases
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Vertebral metastases are foci of cancer cells that have spread to the bones of the spine from a tumor originating in another part of the body.
Common symptoms: The most usual sign is persistent back pain, which may not be relieved by rest; in some cases it is accompanied by weakness, tingling, or changes in the sensation of the extremities.
Context: They appear in people with a history of cancer, since the spine is one of the sites where these spreads most frequently settle.
Which specialist treats it? The radiation oncologist evaluates this type of involvement within a care team. New, intense back pain, or that worsens over time, deserves to be checked by a professional.
