A Focused Guide from the World's Experts on Metastatic Spine Tumors
New York, NY, October 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- This first volume in the AOSpine Masters Series, recently published by Thieme, integrates the expertise of oncologists and radiology interventionalists with that of master spine surgeons, all of whom are actively involved in the care of patients with metastatic spine tumors. The book provides expert guidance to help clinicians make the right treatment decisions and provide the best care for their patients. Chapter topics range from evaluation and decision-making principles to a spectrum of non-operative and operative treatment options that have been rapidly evolving over the past decade.
“I am especially excited for young spine surgeons and for residents and fellows in training programs, because this textbook will enable them to learn about spine surgery in a unique way that will provide them with a better understanding of the current status of our knowledge of the spine.” – From the Foreword by Jeffrey C. Wang, MD
All neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neuro-oncologists, and orthopedic oncologists specializing in spine, along with residents and fellows in these areas, will find this book to be an excellent guide that they will consult often in their treatment of patients with metastatic spine tumors.
The AOSpine Masters Series, a co-publication of Thieme and the AOSpine Foundation, addresses current clinical issues whereby international masters of spine share their expertise and recommendations on a particular topic. The goal of the series is to contribute to an evolving, dynamic model of an evidence-based medicine approach to spine care.
