The aim of this study is to compare the clinical features and postoperative survival outcomes between patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy and those with spinal metastasis occurring after an established diagnosis of malignancy.
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical features and postoperative survival outcomes between patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy and those with spinal metastasis occurring after an established diagnosis of malignancy. By analyzing and contrasting these two groups, we seek to identify any distinctive characteristics, prognostic factors, and potential implications for early detection and treatment strategies in patients with malignant spinal metastases.

Postoperative Overall Survival
Postoperative overall survival is defined as the time from the date of surgery for spinal metastasis to the date of death from any cause. Patients who are still alive at the last follow-up will be censored at that date. Survival status will be ascertained by clinical follow-up and/or review of medical records.
Time frame: From the date of surgery until death or last follow-up, up to 5 years
