    Author: Acikgoz B, Akkurt C, Erbengi A, Bertan V, Ozgen T, Ozcan O.
    Journal: Paraplegia; 1989 Oct; 27(5):359-63. PubMed ID: 2601985.
    Abstract:
    In this report 84 patients who had surgical intervention for metastatic spinal cord tumours are presented. The primary tumours were mainly from lungs, breast or of haematological origin, and were commonest in the thoracic region. In all but 2 patients laminectomy was performed. Surgical decompression permitted diagnosis, and there was neurological improvement in nearly half of the patients.
