An Evidence-Based Guide to Managing Primary Spinal Tumors

New York, NY, November 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- This second volume in the AOSpine Masters Series, recently published by Thieme, balances critical appraisal of current evidence in spine oncology with the opinions of experienced spine surgeons to create a unique clinical reference for spine oncology surgeons. The chapters have been written and researched by key leaders in spine oncology and range from general evaluation, staging, and decision making principles to histology-specific oncologic patient management.

“The goal of this guide is to balance critical appraisal of current evidence in spine oncology with opinion from experienced experts, to create a distinctive and meaningful clinical reference.” – From the Preface

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 primary spinal 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.
