Description
Summary:Decision-making in patients with vertebral metastases is highly complex. Different factors of the patient, their cancer disease and treatment options are involved in it. Treatment schemes and strategies have been modified with the evolution of knowledge and treatment of disseminated oncological disease. This paper analyzes the bibliography that has been used for decision-making in the last three decades, as well as the evolution to the schemes that we could consider contemporary. Resumen: La toma de decisiones en pacientes con metástasis vertebral es de gran complejidad. En ella intervienen distintos factores del paciente, de su enfermedad oncológica y de las opciones de tratamiento. Los esquemas y las estrategias de tratamiento se han ido modificando con la propia evolución del conocimiento y tratamiento de la enfermedad oncológica diseminada. En este trabajo se analiza la bibliografía que se ha empleado para la toma de decisiones en las 3 últimas décadas, así como la evolución a los esquemas que podríamos considerar contemporáneos.
