Does the Pathologic Fracture Predict Severe Paralysis in Patients with Metastatic Epidural Spinal Cord Compression (MESCC)?—A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Analysis

Does the Pathologic Fracture Predict Severe Paralysis in Patients with Metastatic Epidural Spinal Cord Compression (MESCC)?—A Retrospective, Single-Center Cohort Analysis

Currently, there is uncertainty about the predictive factors for metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) and consecutive symptomatology in tumor patients. Prognostic algorithms for identifying patients at risk for paralysis are missing. The influence of the pathologic fracture on the pat...
